I have to weigh in with Jim here.  And not because I like his name, even 
though I do. This is ancectodal evidence at its best but as far as I can 
tell, I've never had a case of the flu and I've never had a flu shot 
either.  No, I don't avoid people.  I'm over a half a century old and 
the last time I had to regurgitate was after drinking a couple of 
bottles of Ripple at age 25.  I get the required cold each year.  Now 
where is that piece of wood I gotta knock on.

Jim.
