I'll see if that theory works... but I'm guessing a short "sigh" may also help

How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.

But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!

IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS... I'm sorry... what did you ask me?

I've got the serious strain of man-flu Snotty nose, sneezing, coughing, the works. It's a very stressful time.

I'm doing my best though, plodding on at work, none of this time off sick lark for me.

I'm currently trying hard to drink the man-flu into submission Think it's working too

To be perfectly honest and fair to women, I'm not surprised this phrase has stuck and is widely used, judging by some of the nancy boys this country has and continues to produce.

Men are a dying breed, fast.

They're all dying of a particularly virulent strain of androgen-specific influenza.

That or they're wasting away in despair because of the oft-repeated and baseless "men can't multitask" contumely.

Or maybe it's just the lack of aggression/competition that is instilled in them from an early age.

I had a cold last week, which was instantly branded man flu by the Mrs. She's got it now and is "the worst cold I've ever had" and "I don't know how you managed to go to work feeling like this".

Women get on with it? My ****.
