"What's Wrong With You?!"

A few weeks ago I posted that I had a bad hangover and was getting no sympathy from the missus (deservedly so). However, this week I've got a cold and no matter how bad it is I get nothing but abuse from the woman.
"What's wrong with you?!"
"For fuck's sake, take some cough medicine!"
"There's nothing wrong with you!"
Let's clear 2 things up shall we.
#1; Coughing is one of the body's ways of getting rid of all the shit that built up during the infectious period of the cold. Supressing the cough with medicine may mean your bird gets a good nights kip, but it also means keeping the infected bile in your system for longer.
#2; Is it any wonder we men play up on colds if all we get is abuse with not a smidging of sympathy? Just ask how we are instead of telling us.

If you really think that cough medicine works then you are more stupid than that lemur that you are pictured with.

Does not justify lack of sympathy from her indoors though!

That was a highly intelligent lemur.
Cavonia works for about half an hour which is long enough to fall asleep (her and me) but that wasn't my point.
Too much to leave a name?
