The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention[C.D.C.] headquarted in Atlanta GA has just issued a warning to all H.O.G. chapter members throughout the world that they appear to be at higher risk of contracting this insidious new strain of Swine Flu than any other demographic.
The C.D.C. went on to say that IF any riders of the Harley-Davidson brand of motorcycles begin to feel ANY of the follow symptoms coming on:
*Experiencing excessive vibratory sensations at the extremities[hands/feet/"rear end"] while riding your motorcycle
*Overcome with feelings of inadequacy as someone astride another brand of motorcycle passes you on a twisty mountain road
*Feeling that you're not "correctly attired" unless you are wearing your leather vest, chaps and do rag while riding your H-D
Then you are hereby advised that you can purchase the preventive prescription for this new strain of Swine Flu at any Triumph Motorcycle dealership.
(though the C.D.C. also did say that finding one of those would be harder to do than finding the ubiquitous Harley-Davidson dealership out there, they also wish to remind the public that the old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", is still a very wise credo to live by, and thus those seemingly afflicted should still make the effort to search out those much rarer Triumph Motorcycle dealerships post haste)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

 Good one Dwight  Can I have permission to transmit this, my eldest son gets married this weekend and his future father in law is a Hog rider, but is a good humoured bloke and this'll go down well.

Today in my small part of the CDC, we were informed that we are no longer allowed to refer to this outbreak as the "Swine Flu" instead we need to use the more technical H1N1 designation. Turns out that the term is offensive to the Muslim community AND the Israelis... the Israelis suggested that we call it "The Mexican Flu" so H1N1 it is.

I might be wrong, I sometimes am.

Down here we have the Pork Producers Association up in arms because it will effect pork sales, as the flu doesn't even come from pigs!!!!!

Now, I could be wrong here Bill, but I hear that that is REALLY what's irkin' the Israelis too! They're worried the folks there will be afraid to purchase any kosher bacon from their neighborhood delicatessen now!!! 
But like I said...I "could be" wrong about that, dude.
(oh, and BTW....sure, go ahead and use the above C.D.C. thing on your future Hog ridin' inlaw...no problem at all...in fact, I'd love it!!!)

Was that H1N1 or HINI? I'm not sure I'd like to say that one out loud in certain quarters.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
