June is hosting this week's Take A Word challenge and has chosen MEN as her word.
Now this got me thinking about Harold who has suffered from many illnesses in the medical dictionary and his poor long suffering wife Madge. Madge in exasperation calls his latest ailment cold but Harold argues in favour of flu. Mmmmmmm!
Any fellows out there who are thinking this is a classic case of sexism against the male of the species please accept my apologies if that is the impression I am giving ........ I only ask that you take a good long look at Harold before you condemn either Madge or myself.
I used figures from two separate pages of a book donated to the Free To Use section of Flickr by the very generous Digital Sextant. I made this little scenario then gave it some colour in Photoshop and added a comment from Madge using the font : Persimmon.
Thanks for a great word June.
Thanks all for looking.

You did a great job with this challenge. Men, ah, yes. Perfect!
Thanks for my Sunday morning smile! How brilliant to bring these two images together. They're meant for each other! Great fun, Ann.
Their looks say it all Ann! Great fun and lovely work.xx
Oh my. Men just don't have a chance since women have taken over the world. Woops. You said this isn't a sexist piece. Okay. I'll take your word for it. :O) It's actually very cute! I also have either a cold or the flu today, so I appreciate Harold's dismay. My wife gives me that same look.
So clever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done, Ann! No words are necessary - the expressions say it all!!! Brilliant! Hugs, Terri xoxo
