I agree -- I agree!  I did say there was no humor value though, didn't I?  I
only meant that in terms of exploitation.  I have a sense of humor about my
own disability.

I'm just jealous because everybody else on this list has CP, and I have
initials nobody ever heard of.  I have PN.  People say,"What's that?"  Then I
say, "Peripheral neuropathy."  Then they say, "What's that?"  Then I
say,"It's a disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system."  Then they
say, "What's that?"

One thing is certain: Nobody's ever going to make a movie about it.
