Pigs Might Fly

How many men have now uttered the same phrase? My husband decided to speak the immortal words after a sneeze and a sniffle the other night....

"Don't say what you're going to say next," I warned.

"Well, I hope it's not," he replied, sheepish.

But I have to admit what he declared the next day made me giggle rather than want to throttle him.

"Do you know what?" he said.

"What babe?" I replied.

"I think I've managed to fight it off," he answered, jubilant.

So while a national crisis is declared - newspapers screaming that 65,000 of us could die from the dreaded virus - my husband reckons he has managed to contract swine flu, go about his normal daily routine and recover less than 24 hours later. God bless him.
