A cure to cry for

It is spring. Heck, it's almost summer. But it doesn't really feel like winter's truly over. Many people are still sick. Some are paranoid about getting swine flu.

The guy at the shawarma shop where I get my coffee has the cure.

"Eat an onion," he says. "Do not cook onion. Just eat the onion raw. Whole thing. Raw."

In addition to possibly curing your cold / flu / blahs, it will ensure you do not pick up any of these ailments from a person of the opposite sex.

I saw someone eating an onion, just as if were an apple, when I was a kid. I begged my mother to let me do it too. What do you think happened?

Woodsy, I think your mother let you eat that onion and you really liked it and you continued to eat onions like apples every day since to this very day and have never had a cold or the flu.
