A dad wears many hats in his day-to-day life.

But in the end, what it all comes down to is keeping his family safe.

Whether they know it or not, I do my best to surround them with a  hedge of protection.

And being a dad, I listen to the doctors and scientists and I follow recommendations that they propose.

In 1665-1666 there was an outbreak in London, you know, The Great Plague.

It killed an estimated 100,000 people.

At the time, many physicians believed that in inhaling farts would protect against the disease.

Yes, you read that right.

At the time, physicians thought that breathing in farts would protect against the “bad air” that was causing The Great Plague.

People were advised to carry jars of their own farts, or the farts of others, to sniff, because in doing so, it would be harder for the bad air to get into the system.

Yes, that was an actual thing.

Did it work then?

Well, I have no idea.

BUT – I am very happy to report that my wife, whom I sleep with under the same covers, has been safe for 25 years from the Bubonic Plague.

I’m a dad – I’m here to protect and serve.
