I mean, they can be cute if they're housebroken, but the constant stream of asinine questions combined with the relentless crotch-sniffing can be downright annoying at times. My favorite Non-cean query is, " Are you having a stroke? " (at least this shows that they are not as self-centered as they look.) This is the type of question that will draw a curious crowd of Non- ceans, so you will be treated to a sea of excited people bracing themselves for the moment you will drop dead right before their very eyes, thereby giving them the gift of thrilling supper-time conversation. When you tell them No, I don't believe I'm having a stroke, they act all disappointed, as if you just denied them membership to an exclusive country club. And then there are those Non-ceans that are desperate to jump onto the cea Bandwagon – they find this disorder so fascinating that they want it, too. " Sometimes, when I get really sleepy, the left side of my neck gets really pink and my right eye twitches. Do you think I have cea? " asks the nosy man with the full grocery cart in front of you in the " 10 items or less " lane. His eyes are shining with hope, so you hate to let him down. " Perhaps you should see a dermatologist; maybe you do have cea, " you reply, waving your two containers of yogurt around his head (Yes, you are the Food Lion authority on skin disorders!), triggering the man to tremble with delight as he tosses a few Snickers on top of his box of Twinkies (Damn those Non-ceans and their conspicuous consumption of processed carbs!) Non-ceans. I just don't understand them. But I guess we're stuck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
