Germs

When the guy who's hacking up a lung, presumably from the tuberculosis that runs rampant here, offers you a Marshallese donut, do you take it? Seriously, this guy is coughing so hard that he's gagging and it's making me want to gag, kind of like that time in high school when I found Brittany gagging over a trashcan (because she saw a fat kid's asscrack hanging out of his jeans) and I joined her in a sympathy gag, until suddenly there were 4 of us gagging over a trash can in the hallway during the middle of class. Anyway, I am feeling especially gaggy at this moment since I just ate a donut that was coughed all over by the man who gave it to me. Germs are quite the issue here...in water, on food, on hands, there is no escaping them.
