I haven't gotten legitimately sick in at least two years; it could be as long as three or four, but I honestly can't remember.

You better come with something better than that.
I would like to see some statistics about garbage men and how often they get sick - I'd bet a Sacajawea coin that they have half as many trips to the doctor as the dude at your office who's always singing the praises of waterless soap.
It saddens me to see how men, as a species, are going the other direction. Girls have always complained that It's Too Cold In Here or My Mono Is Acting Up Again, but us guys? Seriously?
Since when is it cool to be sick? Unless you're under the age of 17, you shouldn't flaunt your Kleenex like it's a flag at the Alamo. And don't even get me started on hand sanitizer.
