I have absolutely no sympathy with you because nobody ever has any sympathy for me when I’m ill, and everyone knows there is nothing iller than a man who is feeling a bit under the weather. Childbirth? That’s nothing. I’ve got a cold! I’m feeling terrible! Nobody in the world could possibly feel worse that a man who’s got a cold.
Really, I do hope you’ll feel better soon, because then you’ll stop bitchin’ about it.
Of all the things I’ve lost, my mind is the one I miss the most.
… I do hope you’ve got someone there who feels sorry for you and makes you nice hot cups of tea.
This is a good difference between men and women…men bitch because they really do feel they deserve our undivided sympathy, regardless of what else might be going on in life. In other words, they tend toward selfishness.
Women bitch because we know it annoys the hell out of men. Looks like I’ve done my job well
And to keep on the topic at hand, in lieu of your post, I know why no one bothers to feel sorry for you when you are sick. I wouldn’t either.
And I also know that when one comes to a message board to forge cyber friendships with those they share a common interest, thoughts such as quoted above might be better left unsaid.
