This is just a small snippet of one of the three, count ‘em, three long lines that I stood in yesterday. Outside. In the hot sun. For two hours.

Aren’t you sorry you missed all this fun?
But what the heck, I’ve now been immunized for both the swine flu and seasonal flu. Which, apparently, is worth more than gold at the moment. And it only cost me $10. Well, and those two hours of my life which I’ll never see again…
