Opening my mouth and talking!
That could depend a lot on what you said, to whom you said it and where you said it. Over here, I am very cautious. They don't necessarily wear signs, but they could be wearing other things
.
I had one of those Hofner basses. It would have been around 1963/4. OK I was impressed by the Beatles. What was good enough for that Paul was good enough for this Paul. 
It was my second bass. It got stolen in Widnes Lancashire.
I have another one that came from somewhere. it's barely playable. The kids used to use it as a cricket bat! LOL

That is strange. I in 1966, I had one in Vancouver, BC...could have been your second one!
I'm extra grumpy today 'cos I fell over again!! 
I was adjusting the garden lighting to shine on a naughty stone puppy who is sitting in a flower bed in the back yard. We wanted him to be lit at night. I leaned on a pile patio stones to reach his light. The stones moved and over I went. A tree branch suddenly jumped up and hit me on my forehead, another stone hit my left leg and I banged my right knee on yet another stone. I was not happy! All I could do was say 'Sh1t'!
Bah Humbug!!

Yikes! That sux. As I've aged I've found that there are things I can't do any more. I don't do them.I'm extra grumpy today 'cos I fell over again!!

A sure sign of being old. You should stay in and watch Schitt’s Creek.

I have a mask theory.
When you wear a mask, it gets wet, glasses fog up. Your mouth, tongue, cough and mucus are full of bacteria. Rather than exhaling it, the mask is supporting recycling bacteria and viruses back into you, concentrating them and raising their levels.
At some point, this is going to come back and bite the most vulnerable.

ProTip: Before putting the mask on, put a Listerine Strip in your mouth. Much less objectionable that way.
I have been paying at the pump for decades, now. I don't want to go inside. Looks like they and I are even-steven!
I must be doing something wrong, then, as I have been occasionally needing to fill up the tank in my car.Very funny...Less Driving=Less Gas. Guess some things must be spelled out
Did the same guy who stole Macca's steal yours, too?I had one of those Hofner basses. It would have been around 1963/4. OK I was impressed by the Beatles. What was good enough for that Paul was good enough for this Paul.
Sorry to hear that, Paul, But, as I have always said (if I can actually remember that I've always said it), if you're going to do something, you may as well do a bang-up job of it.I'm extra grumpy today 'cos I fell over again!!

again "since March."
"since March." seems to have been missed...I give up.
Sounds like alcohol would help, but I can’t drink any more.
Using a tongue scraper a couple of times a day helps.
Can you get those from Amazon? (asking for a friend)

That opens up a range of possibilities to hold your tongue.
These medical devices can be painful.
For sleep apnea.
I won’t comment on this one.
Family is often exempt from holding their tongues.
