I guess it's going to have to touch their world before they understand.
that absolutely anyone can have the virus.
Today, someone was telling a story about someone who had been in prisoner
who had... I stopped them before they got the rest of the story out.

That is the thing, virtually every disorder condition gets mocked or laughed about. Whether it is by playing up to societal misconceptions or stereotypes or plain misinformation. The answering machine response is funny. Behavioral health disorders seem to be the primary source of the humor.

Thanks for the laugh.
