Well, *I'm* quite clean, thank you very much. And according to the news
reports people are _forgetting_ that they shouldn't peek inside this
thing.

It exactly matches what the news reports say about it. I've gotten
almost twenty of the things so far today.

You want me to give you my viruses so you can see what they are? No,
no, wait, that didn't sound right. You want me to make sure you get all
my viruses? No, umm, that didn't sound right also. What I mean is, I
don't _have_ any viruses, I'm just getting them. Wait, no, that's wrong
too. It's just that all these people are trying to infect me. Darn
it! That's not right either! . . .
