Q: You ever tempted to wear one of those surgical masks?
Is this new bird flu scaring you enough that you're thinking of getting one of those surgical masks? Is it scaring you at all?

Last term, I was. I wanted to use the mask, and smear it with Vics Vapor rub as I had one student with rotting teeth that was really REALLY nauseating.
If you decide to wear one, at least decorate it. Draw something on it, or add glitter or bedazzle it. Make it fun.
mArtiAn:
Oh i've got one already, it's decorated to look like one large mouth with the lips peeled back showing a row of teeth the size of cigarette boxes. I wear it everywhere I go.
If I wear a hat, sunnies and one of those masks, who the hell is going to know I am a foreigner? I'd miss the stares and having a "hello" shouted at me......usually from a safe distance. Nah, no mask for me, I couldn't handle the anonymity!
Some clever person wrote in another thread that the reason surgeons wear these masks is to protect the patient from germs from their mouth. As far as I can tell people here wear them because they think it will save them from particles in the air. It doesn't.
