RE: Is man-flu worse than every other illness...Yep
I'm feeling like something very secretive and highly exclusive has just been divulged, and I'm feeling like I need to ixnay on the anfluay. :)
At any rate, I don't want to question the wisdom of talking about this VERY SERIOUS AND DEBILITATING illness, but I'm concerned that maybe the cat was let a little too far out of the bag on this one, and that cough, cough, hack, hack some of us reading this, mainly the women, might question the actual validity of this man flu. AAAAAAAAchoooooo!
Which saddens me, since I myself have suffered from something on at least a few occasions that has, and I'm deadly serious unto death when I say this, that has pretty much kept me homebound and nearly become a part of the couch for several days. I would rather not this ever reach my wife. Her remedies are neither as minty or benign. :)
Ah yes, I had considered the implications of my post and thought for a moment that it was more information than us man-flue-suffering-men would like them to have. However I proceeded to post it anyway, mainly because most women listen to nothing men say anyway and if they indeed do listen they generally discount it.
To be honest though I think most women know the man-flu is a deadly illness anyway. I mean why else would they answer the snack-bell by bringing snacks, make chicken soup and plump up the pillows on the couch for us when we are stricken with the illness. Well, my nurse (wife) does anyway...Don’t they all?
Ummmmm—I think you're very fortunate to have a wife who even allows you to have a snack bell and ring it, let alone answer it with something more than a scowl. :)
Be that as it may, I can't argue with your logic about what most women do regarding what any of us men might say, so I will remove my previously stated hesitation from any consideration of further action and say to you, "Carry on, sir! Carry on!"
