I knew there was a reason I never wrestled.

(Yes, I know it isn't sexually transmitted, but it sounds funny.)

Herpes Outbreak Shuts Down N.J. High School

A herpes outbreak at St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City has forced the school to close early for the holiday break.

Five members of the wrestling team tested positive for the type of herpes transmitted when skin comes in contact with open lesions. The disease is not the form of herpes that is sexually transmitted.

One wrestler at Nutley High School, which had a match against St. Peter's, also tested positive.

St. Peter's was shut down after classes Monday and the wrestling area was disinfected.

The all-boys high school will reopen Jan. 3.

How DELIGHTFULLY coincidental that one of the schools involved is St. Peters. That just makes this story so much more lovable.
