The fblog diet!

I lost five pounds today from the stomach flu. How can you benefit from this amazing weight-loss technique? First, it helps to have a spouse who gets sick first. Be sure not to wash your hands after touching him (because you're assuming it's food poisoning) and eat finger foods like tasty artichokes so you can stick infected fingers in your mouth frequently. Wait two days and don't make any plans because you are gonna hurl a lot, among other things. I still can't eat.

Seems this new diet is a trend! Connecticut is reporting record numbers of flu-dieters. This story reports that, "It's sometimes linked to eating shellfish that has been contaminated by sewage, but is more commonly contracted by swallowing food or water contaminated with stool of an infected person."

Eyewww. I ate my husband's poo? This was not in the vows.
