So far this is the best one-liner of the day.
Poison ivy is funny stuff . . . to my knowledge I've never had it even though I'm outside a lot camping, hiking, geocaching, ATVing, etc. I've heard and believe that some folks are not as susceptible to the stuff . . . whereas other folks are like you and my wife or Jim Porter who seemingly just get a few feet from the stuff and break out in the PI rash.
Who's Jim Porter you may be asking . . . why JP is my neighbor, deputy sheriff and firefighter who has managed to get exposed to poison ivy numerous times while at car accidents (in one accident myself, my wife and Jim were lying in the stuff . . . I had no issues, Jim and my wife broke out in rashes . . . Jim was bad enough that he had to go to the doctor) and then one time in the Spring they were burning some brush and the poison ivy got into the smoke and poor Jim inhaled some of the smoke and ended up with poison ivy in his throat.
