Shakespearean Plague

This weekend, the hubby and I went on a double date with Lighthearted Librarian and her beau to see Romeo & Juliet. The man seated in front of us had the plague. Now as someone who works in public service, I have little techniques to avoid breathing in people's germs. One of those techniques being holding my breath as someone hacks a lung in front of me. I eventually couldn't breath because he wouldn't stop. I'm not talking dry cough, but a real phlegmy cough. Each time he caught his breath, he would wipe his nose on his hand and sleeve. Why did he need to see the play and share his germs?

Otherwise, it was another fun, raunchy production from FBT. I am beginning to really enjoy their Shakespearean renditions. It may offend purists, but for myself, it was quite enjoyable.

You really remind me of Monk. One of Monk's big breakthroughs recently was using the public restroom in a theater. He did make the person next to him move so he could sit next to the man with only one arm, that way he could have two arm rests.

SidneyKay, I saw the episode. Hilarious, but from your description it SOUNDS like Monk made the man in the next toilet move so he he could sit next to the one-armed man, which is even funnier!

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8-4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

That killed me in the play. Copa and Shakespeare? Who knew?

Thanks for the laugh. I am still chuckling over the reminder.
