    There used to be this cashier at the local bodega. Always such a huge grump. I tried to be extra friendly to him because he was clearly not enjoying life.

    One day the video store I worked at got these bomb ass fancy lollipops I bought a bunch and happened to have some in my pocket the next time the cashier waited on me.

    He was in one of his moods of course so I spontaneously decided to offer him a lollipop. He looked more pissed than ever and just said “I’m Diabetic” between gritted teeth. I stopped trying to be extra nice to grumpy people after that.

    My dad back in the day had a friend who unfortunately lost both legs. Dad was nervous and did not know what to say when going to visit for 1st time. Walked in the room and said glad to see you back on your feet again. They both broke out laughing.

    Who wishes sweet dreams instead of seeding their friends and loved ones with specific dream settings?

    Whenever I say goodnight to someone I tell them something like “I hope you sleep well and have wonderful dreams of bioluminescent mountain rivers with auroras on the star-lit sky”

    And it works about 30% of the time from reports.

    Damn, if the lyrics of missionary man are anything to go by, they murder diabetics for money.

    "If I had a dollar bill for every sin that I’ve done I’d have a mountain of money piled up to my chin "

    To steal a joke from Milton Jones:

    My sister suffers from hayfever, diabetes, and vertigo. I try my best to be supportive but I’m not sure whether my efforts are going down so well. I’ve sent her flowers, chocolates, and sometimes I just give her a call to say hi(gh).
