It's not the cough that carries you off...

'It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in.'

At least that's the way I heard it said.
I was in the Thrift and people were hacking and coughing.
At a client's, as I bent over to tuck a sling under he coughed and sneezed in my eyes.
In the line-up at the grocerteria, more people coughing.
For pity's sake people STAY HOME.

Now it is ME coughing tonight and most probably there will be no work for me tomorrow.
I do not believe in spreading germs among my clientelle THAT particular way.

I know two kinds of audience only -
one coughing and one not coughing. ~ Artur Schnabe
