Did I mention I'm the Queen of England?

As I finished my short jaunt around the block to inhale some unfiltered, pure, city, smog-filled air, I passed a couple of women smoking (outside Children’s Hospital nonetheless). One woman’s coughing sounded like her lung was about to extricate itself from her chest cavity and go flying across the sidewalk to land in the gutter 5 feet away. She suddenly stopped and said to the women with her, “I must have a cold or something. I can’t stop this coughing.”

Riiiiiiiiight….. it’s definitely a cold and certainly has nothing to do with the Marlboro Reds you’re sucking on.
