Clique: "
An ordinary cold is perceived as a deadly illness by a man" - Now, you may accuse me of sexism and stereotypical feminism, but I shall give you an example to prove my point. Imagine: it is Thursday afternoon at the office and I am feeling like pooh - got a terrible chest infection and when I cough the whole building shakes, looking pretty rough too when suddenly one of the lecturers I work for comes down to see me ( after 10 days of ignoring my pleads for assistance!) to simply fulfil his innate urge to complain about the fact that he was "poorly not well men!".. looking for sympathy..and to give me even more work to do - which eventually I did because: why is that that when a man has got a cold, he thinks the whole world should
stop, give him
a pad on the shoulder and take care of him and him alone? By Friday, I was feeling even worse,so I e-mailed my friend Joe to say that I had self-diagnosed my self and,in my opinion, I had a case of "Man's Flu"; the symptoms? - it's like a normal nasty cold, annoying super loud cough and an unexplainable impulse to whine and to potter about. To this Joe replied: "Kind of yeah - but you need to be careful with your words. 'Men's flu' is just flu that a man has - I think the actual term you need is
'Man flu' - this is something entirely different which
effectively renders a man completely useless for periods of up to 6 weeks, sometimes even longer. Sneezing, sniffling, headaches, blocked nose, loss of the will to live... these things all contribute to man flu." In conclusion, it appears that I merely have an ordinary
BIRD FLU which means that, after all this sneezing,coughing and feeling horrible all I get is to
GO TO WORK in the morning! ..and keep on smiling!
