I might actually use this one in real life.

Can the sympoms of doghousen syndrome be eased by the sufferer sleeping on the sofa, or indeed in the doghouse?

I like sympoms better. Pays homage to The Simpsons and celebrates this dohccasion. And "The Couch" brings back such bad memories for my boyfriend that he'd prefer to sleep on my f.u.ton.

Ignore his f.u.tile excuses. Tell him you want your birthday celebelated.
