What do you do if you do come down with the flu?

Do you think you'd ever feel the need to call someone to find out the obvious: that you have the flu?

You forgot one.

I give it to my Wife so she can deal with it.
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

I haven't come down with it for some years (yay vaccine!).

I've never felt the need to have someone confirm it, I've generally been able to figure it out by myself.
I haven't failed until I quit.

I saw the best test for telling whether it's the flu or a cold.

Someone puts $50 in the window, it blows out.

If you get up to chase after it, you don't have the flu.

Having had the flu a couple of time in my life, I'd say that is spot on.
