Ladies, may I help you with your cold symptoms?
After I'd finished the back page crossword in one of last week's Daily Mail newspapers I had a quick scan through the paper and, well, I just had to snigger to myself. Indeed, there was a hint of a guffaw there too.
The headline of the article of much schoolboy hilarity was "The Salty Solution to the Sniffles".

Ladies, as you well know, I have always been prepared to volunteer my services in any way I can to assist you but I suspect there may be a surplus of male volunteers to assist with this remedy. I would merely like to point out to you all that my surname is Salt and I am therefore, unless the rules of physics have changed, going to be twice as effective as any other YD male. Indeed, I may well efficacious if I knew what it meant.

I think that any laughter during the application of the remedy may actually cause increased sniffles so I would suggest that ladies eyes are kept closed. Not of course that anyone would laugh at me but others feelings may be hurt?

Take spray with a pinch of salt
The salty solution to the sniffles.
Daily Mail, January 22 2008. Nasal spray made from seawater ‘can help ward off colds’. Daily Express, January 22 2008 ...

Whilst on the subject, it would seem that women are the 'cold wimps ...... wimpettes? ........ wimpesses afterall.

Bryan, are you suggesting that a dose of Hot Fish Yoghurt might help alleviate our colds?

Well ........... yes. It's not my fault that it 'says so' in the paper? Of course, I haven't read the complete article but I think the article headline is quite clear? At the very least you feel the warm glow of having made some other person (not necessarily me) VERY happy.

You should tell Kirsten's Mum that she is making you say these things. That'd stop her.

Wrong. Just plain wrong.

(Might have made me giggle.)

But still wrong.

Bryan, I'm sorry to say that I've just looked at the size of a vics sinex nasal spray. Either Mrs Finless or the snotty ladies of YD are clearly disapointed women...

Tsk tsk Young Snowperson, pay attention. The nasal passage is indeed where the sniffles have to be endured but I would like to remind the honourable gentleman that one does not, for example, snort a cup of Lemsip. Nor does one ordinarily sniff a Fisherman's Friend?

Please get with the program!
