I am so glad this was one of your 1.7 posts this month. I needed the laugh. And I must say -- I'm relieved the book wasn't written by Henry Kissinger because when I saw the post preview, that's who I thought was about to mansplain menopause to me and I cannot be having that. At all.
Particularly interested in reading 'Pesky Prostate,' since I don't have one any more (guess that wouldn't actually make it still pesky). But good news is, I've maintained my calm demeanor and kept my figure.
I wonder if he considers Pinworm (The Commonest Pest) less intrusive, or more intrusive, than menopause. Looks like I'm gonna' have to track down another booklet!
Whew! I'm so glad you finally explained menopause. I'll be sure to focus on keeping my figure and appearance while I'm sleep deprived and exhausted, and riddled with brain fog and achy joints. (How very sad that this was the prevailing sentiment of the day.) Truly though, laughed out loud with this one. Thank you for sharing : )
You are very welcome -- and look! Dr. T has advice for you re. achy joints! (There was so much good stuff I couldn't include it all.) You'll be surprised to know that his advice is NOT to blame it on menopause, you silly thing: "There is such a thing as menopausal arthritis but it is rare, and the wise thing to do is treat any such symptoms as being quite apart from menopause until proved otherwise."
Hahahaha!! Oh to be such a silly thing! Of course it's not related to fluctuating estrogen levels which affect so many areas of the body. Couldn't be that at all (cue sarcasm). Too bad Dr. T didn't live long enough to be proven otherwise.
I laughed all the way through this...unlike how I actually felt all the way through menopause. It is incredible that this "advice" was even released into the public, where menopausal women could read it, and feel worse about themselves, while going through the process.
Putting the men in menopause.

haaaaaaaaaaa oh lordy. THAT would have been interesting.

Excellent work!
I think you really need to tackle "The Commonest Pest, Pinworm" next.
Or lice, the "herpes of kindergarten" as my sister-in-law calls that plague.
Loved this.
P.S. He looks like a prick to me. Someone needs to say it.
Absolutely
You women and your magnifications!
"...every woman, IF SHE LIVES LONG ENOUGH..." hahahah. The comedy writes itself.
So glad you popped up on my screen. (I'm still trying to figure out how.) Great piece! I laughed aloud.
Thank God for Dr. T! This was so helpful! Next I really need a modern take on gout!

"The number one rule of pinworm is not to blame everything on it. Pinworm is just a natural part of life."

Fantastic 🤣😂🤣! Much appreciated, thank you!

I know, right?? My poor grandmothers....
yes! I knew you would know what to do with this fine advice! This made me laugh so hard I spit out my coffee.
I think “keep your figure and your interests” might be my new Real Housewives tagline
Brilliant
