Surely since you're healthy..... you have time to handle all the kids, put in a full day's work at the office, do the laundry,go grocery shopping, cook and clean and serve dinner with a bright cheerful smile and a frilly apron ?

Don't forget the extra pillow, hot water bottle, lemon tea and nose drops

I took panadol(!)
Go Drugs!!

Girl.. I have to be close to a coma before I get a day off.. and then my employers are likely to be jumping on my bed asking for breakfast(!)
You know the drill.

I know a good role model when I see one...

Don't forget to give him a little bell so he can ring every ten minutes or so when he needs something, for he will be too weak to get up and get it himself...

Man Flu - The Facts...

1. Man-Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irrefutable scientific fact*.
*(Based on a survey of over 100,000 men.)

2. Man-Flu is not 'just a cold'. It is a condition so severe that the germs from a single Man-Flu sneeze could wipe
out entire tribes of people living in the rainforest. And probably loads of monkeys too.

3. Women do not contract Man-Flu. At worst they suffer from what is medically recognised as a 'Mild Girly Sniffle' –
which, if a man caught, he would still be able to run, throw a ball, tear the phone book in half and compete in all
other kinds of manly activities.

4. Men do not 'moan' when they have Man-Flu. They emit involuntary groans of agony that are entirely in proportion
to the unbearable pain they are in.

5. Full recovery from Man-Flu will take place much quicker if their simple requests for care,
sympathy, soup. Is that really so much to ask?

6. More men die each year from MFN (Man-Flu Neglect) than lots and lots of other things.
(Like rabbit attacks or choking on toast).

7. Men suffering from Man-Flu want nothing more than to get out of bed and come to work,
but they are too selfless to risk spreading this awful condition amongst their friends and colleagues.
In this sense, they are the greatest heroes this country has ever known.

8. In 1982 scientists managed to simulate the agonising symptoms of full blown Man-Flu in a female chimp.
She became so ill that her head literally fell off.

9. Man-Flu germs are more powerful than He-Man, The Thundercats and The A-Team combined.
They are too strong for weak, nasty tasting 'lady medicines' like Lemsip, so don't bother trying to force them
on a victim of Man-Flu.

10. While it may seem like a Man-Flu sufferer is just lying around enjoying ‘Two and a Half Men” it is a
commonly recognised medical fact that the exact pitch and frequency of Charlie Sheen’s voice has remarkable
soothing powers.

Every minute in this country one man is struck down by Man-Flu. Women, all we ask is that each of you offers
them soup, some kind words and your undivided attention and care. Then maybe, just maybe,
we'll beat this monstrous disease together
