The photo has little connection to the discussion although it is a rabbit.
MyLotter LooeyVille (@LooeyVille) wrote querying, tongue in cheek, if there is such a thing as an ‘uncommon’ cold. We hear a lot about the common cold so maybe there is an uncommon one.
When it comes to colds, we’re advised to drink more liquids, which is good advice except that it would be pretty hard to drink more solids.
And, as this is so short, I’ll add a joke I thought was clever. A priest, a minister and a rabbit went into a blood clinic to give blood. They each were asked their blood group and the rabbit said he was Type O. For those for whom English is their second language, jokes like this usually start off with ‘a priest, a minister and a rabbi’ as ‘rabbit’ is a ‘typo’.

Most people probably wouldn't even hear the rabbit thinking instinctually it was rabbit. They would have thought they misheard.

Yes I have always heard to definitively keep your liquids in you when you have a cold I always heard drink orange juice and also a apple a day keeps the doctor away as well as when you have a cold a good bowl of chicken noodle soup.

@JudyEv Yes I always remember them saying when you had a cold to have chicken soup

Chicken soup is always recommended for colds, isn't it? There must be some truth in its goodness.

Looks like a giant sponge to me but if a rabbit it is kind of cute,

Oh gosh well English is my native language but I have a hard time getting jokes. So I read it and was like where was the joke in this event did she forget to finish writing the joke. I had to read what you wrote a few times and then I got it.

Ahahaha. I liked the joke! I guess you can drink more solids by liquifying them or blending them.

This is the first I have seen this exact version of that joke, and it is definitely the best.

They say men are big sissies when they get cold, so I guess a common cold is for women and the “holy crap I’m gonna DIE!!!!!!!!!!!” cold is for men.
