"You've got sinus!"

Thanks to an inconsiderate workmate, I am sick again on the weekend. This workmate sits right next to me and was getting sick on last Thursday. I told her not to come in on Friday as she would only spread the gems and wouldn't get too much work done anyway. However, being a strong believer of "presenteeism", she came back on Friday and successfully got me infected with whatever she had got.

Nice work! And you know who you are!

I began to suffer from sore throat on Saturday and running-nose was added to the symptom list on Sunday. After exhausting the emergency supply of Codral at home (my family eats them as if they were candy), I went to my local, friendly pharmacy and asked for my usual Codral Day-and-night.

Me: "Can I have some Codral Day-and-night, please."
Pharmacist: "Is it for yourself?"
Me: "Yeah."
Pharmacist: "What are your symptoms?"
Me: "Sore throat, running nose, sneeze about 5 times a second. Why?"
Pharmacist: "Body ache?"
Me: "Not yet. Why?"
Pharmacist: "I think you've got sinus."

At this point, I thought to myself: "Doesn't everyone have sinuses? What's wrong with having sinuses? Did you mean sinus infection, grandpa?"

I was tempted to say what was in my mind, but being an open-minded and peaceful (read: clueless and coward) man, I calmly asked him, "So what do you recommend?".

He calmly picked up a box of Codral Day-and-Night and gave it to me.

"Ten dollars, Thanks."
