JERMS™?.... WHY?: So God, I have a really good question? Why, why did you create germs? I’m sick and it sucks. Got sick last Friday and it ruined my plans for this weekend. Head pounding, swollen eyes, and throbbing nose… what did I do to deserve this? Well, I guess I have a few clues: First, watched the Bears game for Monday Night Footbal and didn’t get to sleep until 2AM or so; Second, went to dinner with a friend and ended up going out to the bars until 3 or so; Third, when to APO chapter meeting which turned in the IDP** (explained below) and I stayed up late talking to friends on AOL Instant Messenger™; Fourth, went to happy hour, even after I was starting to get sick and staying until the end of the delayed but glorious Cubs game; lastly, going to the APO Pledge lock-in (to make an appearance) and staying until midnight. These events together, have equaled the great creation of Jerms™. (No, I didn’t spell it wrong.) The Jerms are germs that are mine own. I wanted them "trade marked" for legality reasons. Anyone caught with my Jerms™ will have to deal with litigation. My new friend Jami is a lawyer (she’s tough). So watch out, you don’t want to get my Jerms™.

** IDP – Instant Date Party – Bradley’s chapter has an activity where you show-up to attend a usual meeting but they cancel it at the beginning. Then the members have 15 minutes to find a date to go to the instant social activity instead of the meeting.
