Slow Monday . . . here's some sillies:

NEVER SAY TO A COP

1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.

2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.

3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?

4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!

5. Are You Andy or Barney?

6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.

7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?

8. I pay your salary!

9. Gee, officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!

10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.

11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.

12. When the Officer says "Gee. Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

You survived your fortieth, Bev! Excellent... :)

Hilarious...Here is one of the gems from this very funny English book I dug up from our basement. Hard to categorize, this book. It's a collection of bizarre thoughts, facts, political satire...

THE OPEN UNIVERSITY: CONTEMPORARY STUDIES

Continuous Assessment Course for May

SECTION 1: HUMANITIES © VISUAL SEMIOLOGY

Explain any two of the following:

1) Why the tops of newspaper columnists' heads are always missing from their photographs

2) The rush of passengers to block the aisle of a recently landed aircraft when they're going to have to wait an hour in the terminal for their baggage anyway

3) Why shoe stores stopped selling shoelaces

Tis true, Tis true . . . I must have had too much champaigne . . . I don't remember anything after Amanda danced with the Yeti. Of course, thank goodness that was after Emily challenged Chuck Norris to a thumb wrestle. I would have hated to forget that and I heard that Ashley and Lance were making out again - not something I would want to remember so that must have been later on. The moment of silence for Robert Goulet was a nice touch.

I want to be this woman when I grow up.

Bounced Check

Shown below is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86

year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have

published in the New York Times.

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I

endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three

nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and

the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.

I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my

entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for

only eight years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of

opportunity,and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty

for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident

has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.

I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls

and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the

impersonal, over-charging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your

bank has become.

From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a

flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will

therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at

your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an

employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other

person to open such an envelope.

Please find attached an Application Contract which I require your

chosen employee to complete.

I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as

much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no

alternative.

Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be

countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of

his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities)

must be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with

a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I

have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to

access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say,

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further.

When you call me, press buttons as follows:

#1. To make an appointment to see me

#2. To query a missing payment.

# 3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

# 4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.

# 5 To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to

nature.

# 6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home

#7 To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my

computer is required. Password will be communicated to you

at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.

# 8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1

through 7.

# 9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will

then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering

service.

While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting

music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy

an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?

Your Humble Client

(Remember: This was written by a 86 year old woman)

I can't wait either!! We are going to check out the Tastings Restaurant at the Pittsford Wegmans. I just called there and they were wonderful. They are faxing me over a menu of all gluten-free stuff. Plus they said they could always run in the store to get things to accomodate gluten-free too. I am excited.

OK - This jokes is for Amanda

WHO'S THE BOSS?

**********************

A young couple on their wedding night were in their honeymoon suite.

As they were undressing for bed, the husband, a big burly man, tossed his trousers to his new bride and said: "Here, put these on."

She put them on and the waist was twice the size of her body.

"I can't wear your trousers," she said.

"That's right,'' said the husband, "and don't you ever forget it. I'm the one who wears the trousers in this relationship."

With that she flipped him her knickers and said: "Try these on."

He tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps.

"Hell," he said. ''I can't get into your knickers!"

She replied: "That's right... and that's the way it is going to stay until your attitude changes."

:lol:

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
