Monkeypox

I went to Walmart this morning - yes, it was very brave. My dander was up - I was on high alert - for active shooters and the unmasked. Then I saw him! A man on the cookie aisle - he looked like he had the monkeypox! So, I kicked him in the nuts and ran - you can’t be too careful out there. It turns out that he was just an 80-year-old retiree wearing a polka-dot shirt. I apologized - from a safe distance - as the paramedics carted him away. It felt like a close call.
