OK I got diagnosed this month and the only thing funny I can think of was when I was talking to one of my sisters about an MG walk.
My sister is not overly active and does not enjoy a workout if you know what I mean. I told my sister should would have to look up the MG Relay (I meant walk but everyone is talking about the cancer relay right now). And she said "I can't run a relay! I haven't run in forever!". I said "You dork! They call them all relays or walks. You don't have to run." She said "Well how far is it?" (Great support you know!) I said "They don't always have a set distance. They are usually set around a 24 hour time period." She said "I can't walk for 24 hours!" (Really?!) I said "It's a pariticipation thing. You get a team together and take turns walking. Other than that you visit booths and stuff. The main thing is participating, getting donations and raising awareness." She kind of gave me that "I'm not sure" look. I said "Hey it's an MG walk, you could stop mid-lap walk away and go lie down for a nap and all folks will say is "That poor girl must be having a bad day!" We laughed. I said "Until I walk over and kick you in your lazy butt!"

A lady had been seen abscoding a goose. She was stopped in her car, the policeman walked up and asked her what she was doing with a goose in her passenger seat, and belted in. lol
She said that it was her goose and she was taking it back home, that it was unhappy. He asked how she knew it was her goose. (which was the other reason she was taking it home. It was lonely). How did she know that the policeman asked, because she had asked the goose and it had told her. They called her grown son who lived with her to come to where they were parked. He told the policeman that her goose had recently died and she had been destraught. She was kind enough to buckle him in. lol
