Me: crohn's disease
Hick:Crohn's disease?... What does that have to do with being gay?
Me: Absolutely nothing. Matter fact, I don't even know what crohn's disease is. Hell, I don't even have an interest to find out, but I've met 1000's of people in my life and never once asked any of them if they have crohn's disease.
Hick: <looking confused>.....what does that have to do with being gay?
Me: I'm not gay Bobby, but I will be picking up the check.

I had a funny conversation with my brother's mother in law about gay marriage last year. She is very much against it and is one of those people who says, "If gays marry, then what next, will people marry sheep and horses?" She also thinks it will destroy the value of marriage so I asked her:
"How long have you been married?"
She said, "41 years."
"So it is safe to say you two are committed to each other?"
"Yes"
I then asked, "If you are driving home next week and there is an announcement on the radio that says that gay marriage is now legal in the entire country and gays are getting married all over the place would you go home and tell your husband it is over with, that your marriage is clearly of no value and that you need to go your own ways because your commitment to each other is meaningless?"
She said, "no."
"Why not?"
"Because our marriage is fine."
"So all these gays getting married has no effect on your commitment to your husband?"
"No, I don't care about them."
"So how is their getting married destroying the establishment of marriage? You got married, take it seriously and have committed to it. Everyone else in society and what they are doing has no effect on you."
She got pissed at me and said it wasn't the same thing then refused to discuss it any further. She probably would have asked me if I was gay but this was at Thanksgiving (one of the two times a year I see her - this day and for by nieces and nephew's birthday party.) and my girlfriend was with me.
