Dear Abby,

People with colds oughta be shot! We picked up our new car today and
the salesman was just sniffling away, BIG sniffles. He never blew his
nose. So we go to get in the car and I was going to get in the back
seat while he explained everything to David. No.... he insisted on
getting in the back seat so I could see too. He sat on the edge of
the seat and stuck his head between ours and sniffled and sucked in
and swallowed away. (Sorry but that's the way it was!) If we both get

Chakolate...

How very rude - did he think the cold was invisible?

When I deal with people who have colds I come right out and tell them not
to touch me or to touch anything I'm going to touch. When I get a cold,
my students cancel, and I can lose half a week's business. When you
skate as close to the edge financially as I do, that's a catastrophe.

a bad cold before the holidays can I sue the car dealership?

Jean B....

Get Zicam. Or zinc+ echinacea lozenges. I find these things
to be very effective.

Anne Jackson...

Would you have been happier if there had been no-one there to attend
to you, and explain everything? Your choice...!

**Lin**...

Yes! We practically knew everything from asking questions when we
were first looking at the car.
