foreign [Music] [Applause] oh dear I was Slugger if I couldn't feel like this I wish I didn't have to go to work today well don't tell me you're going to bro it's just another code I've sure had bad luck this year it looks good enough it's your judgment you know you keep wearing yourself down until you're ready to catch the first cold that blows your way how about that square dance last Saturday wise music you are the life of the party swell nothing the matter with that but then what did you do I told you once I told you a dozen times don't sit in the draft when you're overheated where was your common sense [Music] and did you know when to go home no sir not you you danced on and on until you were tired out and then you danced on and on and on until you were completely exhausted oh [Applause] to build up your resistance you needed a good night's sleep which you didn't get you needed a well-bounced breakfast which you didn't eat and some relaxing Recreation [Music] [Applause] [Music] a sense to come in out of the rain [Applause] of course getting so tired didn't exactly sweeten your disposition any and every time you got emotionally upset then you knocked your resistance down another day what a week your resistance is all burned up you were a pushover for the first germ that came along they came along all right [Music] wishing for people I should inconsider it well look who's talking when you first felt this cold coming on were you considerate [Music] the indispensable man [Applause] [Music] [Applause] but I have to get to the office of the last few days I haven't been able to get a thing done oh you're just being modest you've done plenty first you gave your cold your family at the office you passed it on to five other people and each of them took your cold home to their families your wife passed around the infection to three of her friends at the bridge lunch and they spread it to their family and Junior is young but he gets around he managed to plant the virus with half a dozen second Raiders if this keeps up it might sped all over town [Music] that's those are sure contagious but don't worry I won't sneeze near anybody at the office today near y says why don't you know that even when you talk clouds of infected droplets spray out into the air coughing spreads them farther sneezing scatters them all over the place they're an invisible Menace just waiting to be inhaled by other people it's just common sense it's just common [Music] it's just common sense to always trap your coughs and sneezes with a disposable tissue [Music] hey don't blow your ears out you should leave both nostrils and your mouth open and blow gently if you close off one nostril and blow hard you might Force the infection back up into your ears and cause some real damage don't put a cold in your pocket dispose of your tissues where they won't infect other people of course you can't dispose of your hands and anything they touch also becomes a germ carrier so well look it's as simple as ABC a girl has a cold how does she share it with me boy and C child she divides candy with boy and adds toy to child [Music] result three calls now look at the number of things you've touched in this room the phone dishes the Betty [Music] you know the germs can infect someone days or even Weeks Later very simple solution solution of ordinary soap and water [Music] germs can't stand being washed and fresh air and sunshine are usually fatal coals is sure to nuisance oh well what can be cured must be endured well if that isn't the silliest hey don't tell me you're still going to work today why not everybody knows a call has to rent its course if it's a cold it might be the first symptoms of measles or whooping cough or something much more serious even a simple cold can get very complicated so well look figure it like a battle between two football teams the goal line we're defending is you this is your line of resistance now here's the attacking line the common cold with a powerful backfield of dangerous Invaders influenza laryngitis bronchitis and pneumonia if you keep your line of resistance strong you can fight them off but you can't hold a powerful team like this with a weak in line like you know whose once a cold opens a hole in your line anything can happen it's anybody's game folks any one of the Invaders may find a weak spot and break through and here they go it looks from here like an infected sinus now it's nose and run and into the ear Zone oh they're really rolling now folks it's laryngitis or strep throat for another lie down now it's bronchitis or is it pneumonia hooray hey pneumonia that's enough that's enough what'll I do I'll tell you what you do you crawl back under those bed clothes where you should have gone when this cold first closed in if the cold hangs on let your doctor have a look at you but a day or so in bed May save you several days later on in the meantime you might as well enjoy your misery and comfort there's nothing like a good rest to rebuild your resistance it keeps you from spreading your germs to a lot of innocent people say this makes sense sure it does common sense [Applause] foreign
