Boyfriend In A Coma

Boyfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it’s serious. There are times when I could have murdered him… for watching TV in bed!  I can’t help thinking of The Smiths whenever I see a man passed out in front of a television set.

Most women know the truth about what a man means, we just prefer that the truth not be served raw on a verbal silver platter.
