Whom do I sue?

Which is worse, a computer virus or an intestinal virus? The intestinal virus tends to strike quickly, make me miserable for a short amount of time, and then move on without leaving lasting effects, while the computer virus might cause damage that lingers for a long time. However, if my computer has a virus I can always hand it over to a competent person to fix; vomiting, on the other hand, cannot be delegated. Even the Powers That Be have to do their own throwing up, as the first President Bush so ably demonsrated some years ago in Japan. Given a choice, then, I'll take the computer virus. Sadly, no one seems to be interested in offering me such a choice.
