All this H1N1 stuff reminds me of something my great grandfather told me. He was alive during the 1918 Flu Pandemic. At that time, every member of his family had the flu, requiring him to help nurse them back to health. However, he never caught it, even when exposed to it daily.

When we asked him what his secret was, he said it was a little trick he learned in the Navy. A shot of whiskey in the morning and a shot of whiskey before bed.

I'm not sure if that really worked or not, but the guy rarely ever got sick and lived to the ripe old age of 95....so maybe there was something to it.
