Cold weather gives you a cold. Everyone knows that, right?

It makes sense, doesn’t it? I mean, for starters, that’s why it’s called a cold, right? Plus your mum said it did and it always happened on amusing TV programmes.

So you are sure, then? Now let me get this straight: you’re presuming because it shares the same name it must be related. So you got chicken pox from a chicken, did you?
