Why Men get Man Flu

[dellzeqq]

It has recently been brought to my attention, that there is an explanation why Men get Man Flu while women just have colds.

Contrary to widely-held belief, Influenza germs are not passed from person to person. Women who have colds are deemed to pass the flu to men via cats. The cats carry the germs from a woman with a cold to a man where it becomes man Flu.

The name of this process? Transmogrification or Transmutation.

forget it. Her Nibs has been complaining of a runny nose for days. I've never heard such a palaver over nothing.

And if you catch it in a van and take a long weekend it's a case of Sick Transit Gloria Monday

Transporter - catching it from the queen's cellar of Portuguese fortified wines

I think I caught my cold from someone who had recently travelled from the Urals to Vladivostock by train.

Who knows what that would be?

Trans-Siberian, my dear Speicher

Trans-Siberian, my dear Speicher

Indeed, CSI, correct!

 

[postman]

If i caught it being a Yorkshireman from one of mt in laws from Lancashire could it be transpennine .

 

[amnesia]

If you caught it from the wheel skewer on your bike it would be transaxle.

 

[Arch]

If you caught it from a small flock-covered plastic animal character toy, it would be Transylvanian (Families)

 

[Speicher]

Transverse, catching it from someone at a poetry recital.

Transfix, catching it from Alecstilleyedye.

 

[Aperitif]

Thanks to the translucent quality of my thinking, I only got a light dose.

 

[Speicher]

You did not catch from a heavily fragranced bathroom then?

Absolutely, women should be grateful that they don't suffer the debilitating strain of flu us blokes are forced to endure. To them it's a snuffle and sneeze, to us it's a life threatening condition.

Of course , the most common way of passing on Man Flu germs is by sleeping under a loose fitting duvet, also known as Transquilty




BTW, this is no laughing matter, I have had several attacks of Man Flu, and it really is very very bad !
