Today, I was pulled over by a police officer for speeding. After writing the ticket, he asked me why I was wearing a surgical mask. I told him that swine flu was found in our area and I was scared. He thought that I was insulting him and wrote me another ticket. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

I'm guessing you actually said "pig flu", not "swine flu", didn't you?

Hilarious. I know a guy who has believed for over three years now that bird flu will bring the end of the world. Soon as I saw the news I sent him a message saying OMG - flu outbreak and this one's got ur name on it!

You know surgical masks can't protect you from the swine flu right???

**** it. If you're going to get it..YOU GON' GET IT!

I seriously hope you're joking. If not, you're a damn idiot. Swine flu is simply a variation of influenza. Who cares? You don't live in a poverty-stricken country, so trust me on this: YOU WON'T DIE.

#26 Calm down geesh. But OP do your research a little more on the swine flu and how you can contract it. Avoid contact with anyone who is sick, wash your hands regularly, etc... #92 Pay more attention to the news. If you did, you would know schools in New York had to be closed down because of 8 children were found to have swine flu. There's cases in New Mexico, California and Washington State of people with swine flu. Pretty sure the United States isn't a third world country.

Funny coincidence that this came out the day after the new XKCD comic about swine flu...

Oh dear...that sucks. D:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wow. that cop's a real swine... =] i can see where he would think that you're insulting him. but at the same time, he needs to watch the news a little more && get with the program. a cop CAN ticket you for insulting him. it's basically harrassment. well actually, they can ticket you for whatever they want. it's up to you to take it to court && fight it. people tend to win if it's something stupid like this.
