That is even less likely :-)

AAMOF I am stinking of cutting my wife of booze because she is suffering from brain
farts. Half an hour ago she asked me if I wanted a drink. Silly question I know, but I
said yes. She asked what, and since she was offering, I asked for a Manhattan. She just
came out and asked me if we had enough limes for a Mojito? I thought there was but she
doesn't drink them. It seems that I said Manhattan and she heard Mojito.

This won't help the "shared air" problem, but I found a cool
pocket/purse-sized spray called "Persani," which claims to kill 99
9/10% of germs, (about which claim, as an old chemistry major, I do a
major eyeball roll), but it's better than nothing. I keep it in my
purse and use it the minute I get out of a public building where I've
touched escalator handrails, restroom door handles or shaken hands
with opposing counsel <g>

Well, there's a thought, although breathing might become problematic.
