Got home today, started doing dishes. The SO was microwaving some leftover egg rolls and this happened:
SO (conversationally): Oww.
Me: What's that about?
SO: It's probably gas… (beat) Or existential angst.
Me: Isn't that the same thing?
SO: Well, one tells you you're alive, the other is debatable.
What can I say. The little things crack me up.
What was the weirdest conversation you had with someone?

Heh. My wife is a bit ‘always on edge’. Six years ago when I was going through my series of pneumonias (five in seven months) if I’d sigh she’d always be saying ‘Are you OK?’ Now that we know I have an immune disorder, we make some pretty morbid jokes. Not that watching House, M.D. helped: we’d have a minor complaint and say we need full body radiation along with high dose chemotherapy and steroids.
I’m going to have to try to remember the existential angst gag.
Oh, dear. Careful about hangnails. You might need biopsies, designer drugs, and MRIs to diagnose it.
