This story just appeared in the news. It contains this wonderful quote:
Leprosy can't be spread through casual contact such as handshaking, or sexual intercourse.
So, just let your date know that casual means, well... casual. You'll both be happy. Ecstatic, even. Look it up in a good dictionary.
Seriously, you should read the story, if only to dispel myths you might still have. Except for that faux pas, it's informative.

This week's thought
[The intelligence community] argued that [the restrictive amendment] would cripple the program because they typically use it before there is enough evidence to meet a standard of probable cause for a warrant, like early in investigations when they are trying to learn more about a phone number or an email account found to be in contact with a suspected foreign spy or terrorist. -- Charlie Savage/2024 [IOW, let's catch the thief before the horse is out of the barn - the MARF™(party like it's 1829) traitor's worst nightmare]
