Man cold - humour

[Colin]

I rarely got colds, but suffer from allergies. Suprisingly though since I quit smoking I now get bronchitis twice a year. Ah well that's a decent trade given the alternative.

I will say though that neither the world nor life ever stops when I have a cold, but when my wife is sick I am convinced that she has a new illness that has yet to be discovered by medical scientists

Very funny.

Oh l like that one, a bad case of "MAN FLU"

[Ozman1944]

Best cure for Man Cold; My Granny's brew;
Hot whiskey,lemon,honey cloves & nutmeg, three drops Eucalyprus Oil.

That was funny. I know guys just like him. I've missed one half day of work in my life, due to illness. I guess I'm lucky. I think I'll call in sick tomorrow. I need to make up for lost time.

I'm puzzled. My father and I never get colds, I'm surprised other men do. We may sneeze, cough, feel run down, suffer aches and pains, suffer sore throats and such, but we don't get colds. Because if one has a cold one just sits about doing nothing but feeling sorry for one's self. No no no! There is work to be done and stuff to do. We may take a bit of cold medicine to treat the aforementioned symptoms (and drink a little more coffee than usual to keep going) but we certainly don't have colds.

Cheers

Of course Jamie. We never get colds.

Is cold medicine spelled W-H-I-S-K-Y?

Thats exactly what it means. See above. Jamie only meant coffee in a rhetorical sense.

I haven't had a cold or any other illness in at least 10 years. The key is to give your immune system plenty of target practice. Stop cleaning, let dishes and garbage pile up, eat plenty of raw meat, dress as lightly as possible in the winter, and be sure come in contact with as many public and/or exotic surfaces as possible. It worked for me.

It's true. Haven't you seen the episode of the Simpsons where Mr. Burns is diagnosed with every illness known to man? But seriously, I don't wash my hands, and I'm far healthier than the people that I know that are fanatical hand washers/sanitizer users. It's the same concept as a vaccine or immunization. Small exposure leads to immunity without illness.

And whiskey isTHE BEST cold medicine ever!

Right. Memo to self: find Crusty's pic; memorize; don't shake hands; don't eat his food.

Other than that, good on you.
