No Passports - No Joke

So, we're (I'm) still waiting for our passports with shiny new visas to arrive. They were supposed to arrive last Friday. It's Tuesday. I'm getting a little nervous. I'm calling embassies. I'm pacing in my apartment. 

Vaccines and The Funny Doctor

"I'm going to give you vaccines for Typhoid, Diphtheria / Tetanus, Hep A and Malaria."
"Yes, please."

"I also have these pills for painful diarrhea."

"Thank you."

"We also have an HIV vaccine."

"Excellent."

"I was only kidding about the last one."

When a doctor makes a joke, it never feels right to laugh. You just sit there, apologetic for no good reason. I got all my shots today for my trip to Southeast Asia. Chris is a seasoned world traveller, so he's already immune to everything (including bullets). I, on the other hand, needed fortification. I got four shots in the arm, each one as sharp as a fist. I also got some semi-hallucinogenic Malaria pills.

"Take one every 3 minutes for the rest of your life."

"Can do. Is that a joke?"

"Yes."

So now I'm vaccinated! Well, I will be in a week and a half when most of the shots actually kick in. Probably four days after I get stabbed with a railroad spike.
