It has brought many a people (men) to crying, pathetic whinging toddlers. A fate worse than the All Blacks failing to defeat the crims across the Tasman. That&#8217;s right, manflu. It struck me down one night. With no Mum to be seen I had to take drastic action to pull myself out of the pit of despair, the never ending cycle of self pity and a nose that won&#8217;t turn off. I went to the supermarket, and bought drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drugs are ridiculously cheap here. A bag of anesthetized lollies, nasal spray, ibuprofen and most importantly, a bag of lifesavers. All for under $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/elmeheecan.kiwi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DSC_0031-1-620x349.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now unlike the classic Verve song, these drugs do work. I was on some concoction of drugs which put me to sleep in 2 of my lectures (I didn&#8217;t miss anything mind you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is now day 3 and I&#8217;m nearly back up to full health.
