Featured review
Cold War
"Though the virus wins few friends, he influenza's many people". Yes, that's the standard of gag that's not be sneezed at as "George/Goofy" is sent home from work because he is loaded with the cold. His wife is off playing bridge, so he's all alone with his own particular brand of "man flu". He raids the medicine cabinet, pops a pill - well tries to, then shivers his way through a nice warm foot bath. When his wife does return home, she takes charge and nurses him to within an inch of his life! Two weeks later, he is back at work - but that pesky virus is never far away! I quite enjoyed this. It does take a particularly masculine approach as we deal with the life-threatening sniffle - trying just about everything short of amputation to be rid of the thing. The pseudo-scientific narration is quite fun too, even if it does repeat the jokes once or twice.
