Made me chuckle, too. Men are just so generally to the point, even where this phobia is concerned. It's kind of funny, if you think about it, that they even have this phobia ,because if their minds truly followed the rationale that their fingers and mouth spit out, they wouldn't have the phobia to begin with
And I, too, would rather have mono for 3 weeks or even SIX months than have a sv* for one day..lol...as irrational as that sounds, it's true...and I HAVE had mono. It's not a picnic, but I did better with it than with any sv*!
