Has Kissing Swined Down?

Has Kissing Swined Down?

I was just wondering to myself this week if the nation's swine flu fears were affecting romance. Is kissing someone you just met OK? What if this new set of lips just came off an airplane with someone who was in Mexico? What if "new lips" lives with a kid, who's friends with a kid, who was friends with another kid who went to Cancun? Will the line ..."So how long have you been divorced," be replaced by by "So, been to Mexico lately?"

Everyone I know is still kissing. People I don't know who I asked, said they hadn't thought about it. Should we be on kissing alert? I just read that The Archdiocese of New York has asked churchgoers not to shake hands when they offer each other the sign of peace during mass. If peaceful handshaking has been relegated to mass high fives, maybe we should issue a non denominational "no kissing strangers" warning. Not that that will be a problem soon if we are all wearing masks, but for now anyway, while we all privately doing out best to avoid the invisible demon.

What, though, could possibly take the place of a lusty new kiss? A high five? Maybe. Even blowing a Miss America kiss could be considered dangerous until we know more.

Guess the best we can all do for now is be on the alert for the latest STD — Swine Tainted Date.

Attitude Is Everything!
