Elevator Conversation of DOOM
This morning when I got to work, there were about 7 of us riding up the elevator. That's not to unusual. Two ladies started talking and the conversation went something like this:
Lady 1: "How's your daughter doing?"
Lady 2: "Not well, she has red dots all over her. Looks like the measles or mumps."
Lady 1: "Oh no, our daughters were playing together yesterday."
Lady 2: "I didn't know yesterday. Has your daughter ever had the measles before?"
They exit the elevator to get off on their floor. The doors close and the Lady next to me says:
"I wish I had taken a different elevator."
Prompting a guy on the elevator to say:
"What's the incubation period for measles and mumps?"
All, I have to say is that I wish I wasn't on that elevator either. Oh well...

From WebMD: "The incubation period—the time between when you are first exposed to the measles virus and when you develop symptoms—is usually about 8 to 12 days.
Good luck with that, then! :)
Thanks a lot.
