Run that by me again

Mr. Confuseme: "My mother had Alzheimer's disease."

Dr. Grumpy: "How old was she at the time?"

Mr. Confuseme: "Like really old. She was almost dead. Maybe it was after that. Can you get Alzheimer's after that?"

    Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
    Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
    And the profit and loss.

    I think the only thing you can catch after you're dead is worms...

    Today, on Crossing Over with John Edward:

    "The good news is, I've managed to contact your mother. The bad news is, she doesn't remember who you are."

    Alzheimer's after death, huh? Did you tell him that his mother must have been REALLY talented in order to pull that off?

    As my sister often says... and I really hope I don't offend anyone here... "Stupid people should have to pay for oxygen!"

    As long as I don't get Alzheimer's until after I am dead, I won't mind getting it at all.
