Herman by Jim Unger for February 17, 2025

He could be like Michael Jackson and wear a glove.

Got any?

“Bill is currently studying a virulent strain of Leprosy.”

To quote Leslie Winkle “I’m not touching that.”

I don’t get it.

And why again does he want to meet me?

Handle the doctor’s bill from Doctor Bill with rubber gloves.

Best not to mention that at parties or to new people.

Be forewarned! He is also cultivating a few rare diseases at the moment.

Herman has his hand behind his back, so he is taking no chances.

Sorta like shaking hands with the morgue pathologist after an autopsy.

He was just purged from the CDC.

“The Germ’A mighty creature is the germ, Though smaller than the pachyderm. His customary dwelling place Is deep within the human race. His childish pride he often pleases By giving people strange diseases. Do you, my popet, feel infirm? You probably contain a germ.” Ogden Nash

At least he’s not working at the Wuhan lab

Aw, c’mon. Those guys probably leave work with the cleanest hands you’ll ever encounter.

I remember conservative anti-vax friends during the pandemic who would shove their hand toward you in a challenging way.

Not shaking the hand of the man… from Galilee – or the hand of the man from the rare diseases lab.

He’s a rather catching fellow.

“….and how to spread them.’
