I don't know, but you should try living in England
No offence to the lovely English people intended, but "sense of humour totally lacking" disease is widespread here.
The other week I ran into my neighbour, and she had a bandage on her wrist. I asked her "What happened to your arm?". She told me she sprained her wrist when she tripped over whilst 'disco dancing' at her cousins wedding the previous weekend.
I said "Ouch!" with a friendly smile, but she looked at me like I was some kind of psychopath for doing this. Then she spend a full 10 minutes telling me how terrible it was that she was not going to be able to do all her pilates and yogo moves for another 2 weeks according to the 3 doctors she had been to see...
Who the fuck sprains a wrist disco dancing and doesn't see the funny side to it?
