Paranoid?

Right after the swine flu breakout I developed a small irritatig cough. Nothing serious, just a bit of hay fever. I had to go to the store to pick up a few items for dinner. Standing by the tomatoes and ready to fill the bag I needed to clear my throat. Okay, it was a small cough but honestly I have had MUCH worse and it really wasn't anything to wince about. Then I got an eyelash in my eye. Great. After rubbing my eye I looked up and this large african-american man sitting in an electric wheelchair was peering at me with a stern look. I smiled politely and tried to carry on. He addressed me in a low deep voice without salutation or introduction and said, "You got a fever?" I said, "Uhhh, no, just something in my eye." Apparently he was waiting to get some tomatoes but after looking me over decided to wheel away to the frozen section. I quietly watched him as I gathered some tomatoes and then healthly bounced off to the checkout. Once he saw me gone he wheeled back to the tomatoes to gather his own. Hmmm, ya think he was concerned about getting sick?
