25.The man cold

I've been feeling a bit under the weather as of late. You know how it goes in report card season....never-ending dull headache, permanent tiredness, annoying sore throat, general malaise. I suppose that's what you get for choosing to work with tiny walking petri dishes with arms. Anyway. Reason 25 I'm thrilled to be single is that I don't have to cope with the man cold. Considering the manly, burly, beefy nature of the male of the species, it's like the freaking apocalypse when they get a cold. That Nyquil commercial where the guy is laying in bed asking his wife to call his mom is funny because it's true. Maybe it's because men have never had to shoot a watermelon-sized human out of their nether regions (not that I have either, but the notion is in my genetics) that they can't handle a fever and some sniffles.
