re: #137 Spider Mensch

I remember the rubella umbrella..i think that was just a local NYC area thing for kids..on Officer Joe Boltons show..yes we had a kid show with a police character as host back in the day, showed Bugs Bunny cartoons and Little Rascal shorts..it was great!

I remember the rubella umbrella, floating down the street in a really creepy way. My brother had German measles when we were very small and I thought I’d had, too, until I first went on birth control pills in my 20s. The bloodwork revealed I was not immune so they gave me the shot. Imagine if I’d gotten pregnant before I was immunized and I’d come across one of these unvaccinated crumb crunchers.
