@fly, I was looking for the like button then I remembered I wasnt on facebook, Funny!!!!!
Have to admit, though, there IS humor to be found.
1) You will never lose an argument. ("You may be right, but I have a potentially fatal disease *cough*")
2) Mosquito bites aren't quite so bad knowing he just might succumb to liver disease
3) You get to be in the smallest club in the world...The people who respond with "Bite Me!" when people comment on their astounding weight loss
4) You have more moods than Sybill
5) You get to be the designated driver for your county
6) You're the only person in the grocery store's yogurt section screaming, "Where's the fat!"
7) Thank God it's summer! Otherwise all that lost hair would just be a waste.
Roll w it, Baby!
Me being obnoxious comes way before any diagnosed disorder or humor or judgements or knee jerks or jack offs.
I quit alcohol and found that I could be just as obnoxious without spending all the money and liver.
Don't know why I said that. I guess to be obnoxious.
Funny for real!!!
Thanks,

I was thinking~ what really bothers me about the jokes about hep C is they spread ignorance.
When you have House on T.V. drop a hamburger because someone with hep C had taken a bite out of it, the message that comes across is you can get hep C from saliva.
If the joke was about being riba rapid while doing interferon, we could laugh at ourselves and the truth behind the joke.
That's why flcy ending by poking fun at menopause is funny and not offensive, because it's true.
When David Sedaris tells his story about his OCD as a kid, its hilarious, somewhat painful, because we feel his pain as a kid, but funny nonetheless.
Really good point, Idyllic. I remember being with extended family members when I was young and hearing ethnic jokes and gender jokes and what have you...and making everybody mad at me for telling them how wrong their humor was. I still feel that way but I also find myself laughing hysterically at some gender and psych jokes. Maybe I laugh because I relate to them. Especially driving jokes and stuff, but call me "the little woman" and you get a stone face.
