One of many....My wife and her friend were buying some jewellery from a local craft centre, and the lady serving them was attempting to show them a small pair of earrings, but seemed to be having difficulty picking them up, and kept dropping them.
"What are you like?" joked my wife, "Have you got dropsy today?"
To which the lady replied "Er, no.....Multiple Sclerosis......"
In a vain and forlorn attempt to lighten the resulting silence, my wife's friend chipped in (with the best of intentions....) "Oooh, you don't LOOK disabled....."
