I take it back

Jeff didn't get me sick, frankly I'm not nearly as sick as he was.

I just like having someone to blame and he, having sniffled his way thorugh the last 2 weeks, was an easy target.

I like having an escape goat.

(If you don't know what an escape goat is, you've never taught a Holocaust class and read student papers. Every class, never fail, I get at least one "Hitler used the Jews as an escape goat" comment. Escape goats make me smile inside.)
