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.
Down here we have the Pork Producers Association up in arms because it will effect pork sales.
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!!!) 
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)
