I am a power cougher. I don't get sick very often but when I do, I make it count. My entire body doubles over and the coughs come from deep in my core. It makes me want to die. I feel for you, sciurus.
One morning I woke up late for work, hung over, and proceeded to drink a pot of coffee. I smoked a few cigs, and then went up to iron my pants. I coughed so hard I A) spilled coffee all over my newly-ironed pants and B) shit my underwear. Seriously.
So I called in sick and watched baseball. Ahh, the glory days!
