How is this related to what we talked about? Let's see, if I have seven
uninfected spouses, then that would be like playing Russian Roulette with no
bullets in the gun. If I'm just out having casual , with no idea who
is infected, then that is like playing Russian Roulette with a number of
bullets in the gun. Guess I'd opt for polygamy.
