Friends, men get sicker than women. There. I said it. Got it all out there in the open for everybody to talk about.
You see, this is the way I got it figured out: The good Lord made women different. You know, they can do a lot of stuff that we can’t, like cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, shopping, that kind of stuff!
But, he made men for outdoor work! Tough work! Building, working on cars, and so on!
So when men get sick, they can’t handle it as well!
They can’t help it! They need more care!
Ask any woman — they will all agree!
Men just don’t handle being sick very well, and Pam even agrees with me on this! She may be sick, but she just knows that when I get sick, I’m sicker than her!
And when that happens, she tries to see that I have everything I need handy. She has my drinks, meds, and food close by!
Last night, I was up hunting food and I found that little bell that I have just for occasions like this! It’s just a little miniature school bell; I jingle it when I need something — like when I drop the remote, need some tea, or just need a foot rub.
And she is being a trooper. She does her best!
But this morning, when she asked what I wanted for breakfast, I told her one egg fried, and one scrambled! But she scrambled the wrong egg!
Most of the time, I just overlook stuff like that, but she didn’t like me calling her out! Now my tea has done got warm and I need some more ice in it! I’ll just ring the bell!
Since she got sick, though, she can’t hear as good. Guess it’s that stopped up head!
Pam, your bell is ringing!
What?
I know you can hear me!
Now get in here and bring me some more tea!
And I dropped the remote too!
No, i won’t stop ringing this bell! Not till you get my stuff!
Do What? No I can’t put it there?
Because if I did that, you couldn’t hear it ring!
And life goes on, on Thompson Hill.
