Vaccination against the
cooties. Can be
administered by any
schoolboy who thinks he
knows
how.
I've seen and had many
variations of the cooties
shot. Most involve some sort of mild
pinch (likely
imitating the
prick of a
needle) and some cootie shots even involve
spit (probably imitating the
antibiotic rub prior to a vaccination).
The cootie shot is
vital before (or
quickly after) being
touched by a
girl or spending any undue amount of
time with a girl in the presence of other
boys during the
primary grades.
