Gifted Typist

That is the question.

Sounds funny, but it isn’t. (Actually, it’s hilarious.)

Here’s the deal. This typist is prone to the occasional cold sore.

It is located on my top lip and now healing.

But when I smile the scab is pulled and opens up, causing a gush of my exquisitely rare AB-.

So when I greet people, it is with a stony face, the natural  smile carefully suppressed so as not to subject them to a blood letting.

I have attempted to explain, but getting into those details with a casual acquaintance or in a meeting is, well, awkward.

So what do you do?

Smile with abandon and bleed?

Remain stoic and statuesque?

Climb under a rock till the sore heals?
