Myth Busters

Me: Please dry your hair some more.  I don't want you to catch a cold.

e: Wait.  How can you catch a cold just because your hair is wet?

e: Yeah.  That's a myth.  Busted.  Maybe you should talk to your pharmacist about ways a person can get sick.

E: Yeah, but, we'd have to be poor.

Me: Poor??

E: Well, yeah, only fishermen live right by the ocean.  We'd have to catch fish and take them to market just to have money.
