gwywnnyddHad this one last night:
"So, if he has Diabetes, why isn't he on insulin?"
"because it's not that kind of diabetes. He has Diabetes Insipidus, not Mellitus."
"Oh, I know all about that, both my parents have diabetes."
Clearly, you DON'T know the difference, since you ASKED THE STUPID QUESTION THE FIRST TIME!!!
"It's not sugar diabetes. It's water diabetes."
At which point he shut up and let me explain.
