When queried about the crew's safety, the handlers replied
that the suits were to prevent the humans from infecting the monkeys (which
resembled Ms. Nathalie btw). Ever since that flight, I' ve had an urge to
lay back in the top of a tree on a Caribbean island hillside soaking up the
sun and spitting at the other monkeys.

LOL! :^D I love it. Sounds like a great affliction Doug. Do you
have a boat? Yeah, I'm sick of being around huge boxes labeled, "Lab
specimens; Danger: infectious substance; Not for transport on
passenger aircraft." Asian Labs. I pointed out to management that in
"econ" setting on the aircon panel (which they dictate we use to save
gas) on the bus that 25% of the air back there is scavenged back into
the aircon manifold and mixed in with the main duct (the stuff we're
breathing.) Management's response was: "What are you, some kind of
trouble maker?" Ya think those bugs could float 100 feet into my
nostrils? Did management care?

Ever since those flights I've had this constant urge to soak my brain
tissues in good laboratory alcohol... and float around in a shallow
pool of water on my back like a bug in a petri dish.
