My wife has pointed out to me that the news stats are saying more men are victims than women.... ?ÿshe thinks itƒ??s because women are healthier in general because they take their vitamins.... ?ÿ

This story confirms the trend, and blames some of it on more men than women smoking and damaging their lungs. But it says that hormones are somehow responsible for some of the difference, too.?ÿ Something to do with estrogen keeping the immune system revved up.

Statistics aren't worth a great deal in a one on one situation.?ÿ That's one man versus one ailment.?ÿ The catch is that men are more likely to have the pre-existing health concerns that give this stuff a better chance of finding a home.

@rankin_file

Perhaps the spell/grammar checked in here and you intended to say "cleaner".

Given the age group of the most serious cases, I assume that most men in that cohort are married and have just lost the will to live.?ÿ?ÿ

For years my wife has told me that if she goes first she wants to be buried first, then notify others that she is gone.?ÿ Current funerals are headed that way.?ÿ Social distancing and certain major life events just don't go together.

A Surveyor, a Statistician, and an Engineer were out hunting.

The Surveyor shoots at a deer and misses to the left; the Engineer misses to the right; the Statistician says 'We got that sucker!'

Two funnies from Facebook:

We're about two weeks away from knowing everybody's true hair color.

I saw a guy in his driveway scraping off a "I have a great kid" sticker from his bumper.

@james-fleming

Some studies have indicated married men tend to live longer than bachelors.  That's not necessarily true, but it may feel that way.
