It started in School.
I was ill, I knew it was mumps. It had been going around the year and my hamster cheeks were a bit of a give away. I looked like a Bo Selecta character.

We were picking on the class geek (we were all actually geeks but he was the worst) and it got a little bit nasty, I may have coughed directly at him knowing I was infectious.

Cue a week later i'm back into school but Ste (as he shall be known, for 'tis his name) was off. Turns out he's off for the next three weeks. He'd contracted mumps. Really nasty mumps. The sort that can cause long term fertility damage. He'd been in hospital having the sperm tests.

I felt a bit shit that I nearly cost this guy his bollocks. Bit of karma though, a while later I got shingles, just before my A-level exams so I guess he got the last laugh.

Seems to me
He'd only be having the last laugh if he was the one what gave you the shingles.

I had the mumps in uni.
One of my bollocks became about the size of a lemon.

Wasn't fun.

If you were infectious
What the fuck were you doing in school?
