You've got The SARS

Posted April 28, 2003 9:12 AM.

A final night in San Francisco - we fly back tomorrow afternoon - spent with Matt Webb and Ben Hammersley. We meet up at Union Square outside Victoria Secrets and wander through a long tunnel to an off-beaten-track part of Chinatown where we have large and amazing portions of various nice foodstuffs. Matt uses the phone to try and contact a mutual friend who's in town. The owner asks us if we are from out of town. And when we're not paying attention she gets some anti-bacterial wipes out of a drawer and carefully cleans the phone receiver from top to toe. As we leave the restaurant we tease Webb accordingly. "You've got the SARS, you have."
