My wife and I took a cruise to Zika virus land last week. In preparation I
sprayed about 2 gallons of pure Deet on my arms, legs, elbows, and
toes. We get to the Caribbean islands. I wore long sleeved shirts and
pants in 75 degree temperatures. I even
wore goggles and a helmet. I was
mosquito proof! Didn't see one mosquito. I even looked for them. I even called out for them. "Mosquitoes
where are you?" Then I would duck
and look for swarms of mosquitoes to attack.
No mosquitoes.
So my wife and I go back to the cruise ship, all
happy and Zika free. We get to our
stateroom and walk in. I thought I saw
somebody out on our balcony. So I go and
look. There sitting in our chairs
playing cards are these two, four foot mosquitoes. They look up and say, "Hey you finally
got back! We've been waiting here for
you at least 3 hours. I'm Zika Andromeda, my
partner here is Zika Borelis. We're
making our way north to Canada.
I didn't know what to say, so I stammered.
"Hello, pleased to meet you. Then
Zika Andromeda said, “you ready?” I
said, “yeah might as well get it over with.” Then Zika Borelis said, “Okay, hold out your arms. Then they both bit into my now Deet less arms. Now I’m a
Zika carrier. But, they sent me a
postcard from Toronto last week. I thought that was nice of them!
