Don't Catch It

Tonight I had plans to get together with a group of women for dinner while our husbands got together to play poker. However, after lunch I started feeling under the weather and eventually decided to stay home.

But fortunately my issues weren't as bad as this guy's:

A man was sitting at home one evening when the doorbell rang. When he answered the door a six foot tall cockroach was standing there. The cockroach punched him between the eyes and scampered off.

The next evening, the man was sitting at home when the doorbell rang again. He answered the door and once again the cockroach was there. This time, it punched him, kicked him, and karate chopped him before running away.

The third evening, the man was once again sitting at home when the doorbell rang. When he answered the door, the cockroach was there yet again. It leapt at him and stabbed him several times before running off. 

The gravely injured man managed to crawl to the telephone and summon an ambulance. He was rushed to intensive care, where they saved his life. The next morning, the doctor was doing his rounds. He asked the man what happened, and the man explained about the six foot cockroach's attacks, culminating in the near fatal stabbing.

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there's a nasty bug going around".
