Trying hard humor seems to be the fashionable thing to inject in directional signs nowadays. We can't fault owners of these establishments to post a caution or even obviously direct the clients to where they should be but to the extent teaching them how to do it is beyond me to understand.

When hardpressed for time, fashionistas worth their salt are not known to fret longer than they need be. They had always a fashion fallback, the little black dress.

Although children with typhoid fever sometimes become sick suddenly, signs and symptoms are more likely to develop gradually — often appearing one to three weeks after exposure to the disease. In some cases you may not become sick for as long as two months after exposure. The incubation period for paratyphoid fever is shorter — usually one to 10 days.
Once signs and symptoms do appear, you're likely to experience:
-Fever, often as high as 103 or 104 F (39 or 40 C).
-Headache.
-Weakness and fatigue.
-A sore throat.
-Abdominal pain.

First things first. Why did I place this blog under Fashion and Style? Does it deal with fashion for both women and men? Does the piece tackle a certain style? To both questions the answer is yes, in a manner of speaking. Let me digress for awhile from the focus of the blog by tackling this head on.

Sultry, seductive and throaty voice over from the twin speakers of the idiot box muted out of respect for co-boarders fill the room, "Midnight Hot, Hot, Hot". Images of heavenly bodies segued one after the other in seemingly endless procession of two-piece bikinis that leave just a 'lil bit to the imagination. Models, they with the pout either contrived or natural sashayed their bods before a wide-eyed fan.
