I've had the flu for the past couple of weeks. Boy, have I had the flu. High fevers, muscle spasms, it's been very exciting.

But I have to say, I was secretly hoping it might be SARS. Because, as a comedian, SARS is a goldmine.

And I feel that, as a person with SARS, I'd have a sort of monopoly on SARS jokes. You know, like how black people are the only ones that can tell black jokes?

People would get all offended by my jokes, and I'd be like, "Hey, I have SARS. So I can tell these jokes."

Even deadly diseases have a positive side.
