RE:
Not sure if it's true of ALL men, (don't want to offend Dave or Jerry or Bill or anyone else on the boards who has "outdoor plumbing", but it's TOTALLY true for my DH! I can't wait to show it to him! Question: I couldn't quite make out what the paramedic says to the girlfriend as he's leaving. Anyone else catch it?

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.

He says, in real snarky fashion, "have you not heard of lemsip?" Lemsip is an OTC cold remedy sold in UK. Disgusting stuff, but presumably good enough for women who only suffer regular colds after all!

RE:
Thanks Clare! The snarkiness came through loud and clear, just not the "lemsip" phrase. Women's colds OBVIOUSLY don't need emergency round-the-clock service, including bells! They rank far lower on the richter scale of disorders.

RE:
I work with a few "man-flu" types
I guess I'm different, nothing slows me down (except depression).
When I had a hernia repair, i was up in a day doing crazy stuff with the kids. When I had the hip replaced I refused pain meds (former addict, didn't want to get 'rehooked'). When I'm really ill, I'm kind of like an animal want to crawl off and die or lick my wounds until they are better.

From urban dictionary: (decribes these little pussycats ppuurrfectly)
MAN FLU
The condition shared by all males wherein a common illness (usually a mild cold) is presented by the patient as life-threatening.
This is also known as 'Fishing for Sympathy' or 'Chronic Exaggeration'.
When the patient is your boyfriend, he will exhibit the standard symptoms (such as an overwhelming desire for compassion) while simultaneously rejecting any and all efforts you make to placate him.
You: Awww, you poor fella.
Him: I'm DYING!
You: (Soothingly) Oh, you're not dying Cy.
Him: (Indignant) I AM! I have Man Flu!
You: Do you need some sympathy?
Him: Yes! But no one understands my pain...
You: I understa-
Him: NO YOU DO NOT!!!

RE:
No, no, no Jerry. Listen carefully. This is an entirely different matter. After many, many hours of negotiation my co-workers and I have implemented the following:
If you.....
lose your pen
run out of staples
OR get a paper cut
you get to go home.
If you have a very bad paper cut then, by all means, file for short term disability and rest up.
Be careful out there people!

It definitely reminds me of some of my friends' husbands and my daddy!! My DH is in the "I am invincible" camp, I have to say that I am lucky I don't have to deal with this, but I do send plenty of prayers to those who do.

Funny :7 My DH is pretty good though. When he doesn't feel well I know it. But not from whining etc. He just is more quiet than usual.
