Man flu.. the unanswered question......

13 Dec 2009

OK.. Mrs DD and moi have been in a rather in depth discussion concerning the concept of
'Heavy duty Man flu' vs ordinary 'woman' flu.
As you could guess at this point we both have colds - one far more serious than the other....of course...
After extensive research (The 1969 book of unanswered questions for boys, Playboy magazine etc) I have suddenly hit upon the undisclosed conspiricy theory of the century.
Now.. in the 1960's all of the worlds armed forces were made up from men of the male type, so.. it made sense that if you could invent a virus that would only attack those with the male gene, in a stroke you would gain a massive advantage in any conflict situation.
So the 'cold' virus was invented by the CIA to attack the male population in a far more serious manner than that of the female.. of course, the Soviet Pack got wind of this and started to produce 'colds' of their own - hence the birth of the huge amount of colds that now float around our atmosphere and the expression 'COLD WAR....'
Of course.. herindoors has already deliberated at some length and is of the opinion that this theory is .. and I quote.. "a complete load of utter bollox"...
All I am looking for is a confirmation that I am on the right track with this from someone who may have 'inside' information, maybe an ex-member of H. M. Government (MI5 - MI6??)...... innocent

Sharky withdraws into another glass of red at this point - hoping that the alcohol will help kill the germs - it may be working, or not, but the germs are a lot happier.......

Obviously, I'm not getting involved, but women are always right. Did you need to ask?

13 Dec 2009

yeah.. I get it....
Rule 1 - Women are always right....
Rule 2 - When women are wrong, see rule one.....!
I just know that my theory is right - there must be someone out there who knows the truth and is willing to ingore the Offical Secrets Act and bring 'I told you so' relief to millions of men on planet Earth....:neutral:

It's an interesting theory... and it would seem to be upheld by events which occured after more women joined the armed forces. If you think about it, it wasn't until that point that "bird flu" started to appear. confused

Take cover!!!

Aha...!!! Yet another piece of the puzzle falls into place!!
More evidence will no doubt come to light as the investigation proceeds.. but a word of caution...
We may to have to be a little careful, otherwise those men with black masks will be bustin' down the doors.. and I dont mean the ones wearing pvc pants either.... (Not to mention a bundle of upset women who will have to acknowledge how serious a man cold can be, thus opening the doors to all sorts of demands for chicken soup, rub downs with Vick and the occassional glass of something to help the germs)

Ah so that's what it is
its still just a sniffle and women are the stronger sex flipa

Its all well and good ladies saying that it doesn't exist... but where is your proof??
A credible theory has been raised which can explain the differences in the cold/flu syptoms felt between the male and female gender!
It has to be said that every man who catches a cold is discribed by his female partner as having 'man flu' at every opportunity - yet another confirmation, because if it didn't exsist, why do women insist on using the term???
Its time to contact your member of Parliment and insist on a full enquiry.. let the truth out.......
Don't worry everyone, I will get the anti-biotics sorted out when I get my wifes boot outta my butt......

We can insist that the board of enquiry are all equipped with dentures - payable from expenses of course... equal famale/male members - no bias tween the sexes.. Call members from the Germ Warfare Establishment to varify all findings.... leave no stone unturned.
Contact the press - I can see the headlines now... 'Men Proved Right.. Man flu is worse than females imagined'........

Actually, the anti-biotics is for the risk from infection from Mrs DD's footwear - it is a long way up and its kinda painful to sit on at the moment. The wine didn't work, im' trying Cognac now - more alcohol, better germ killing properties...

Oh a men V women thread...................

As long as they have the power of the foofoo..............:boxing:
