I’ve Heard It (Said It) Before

I was out last week for a meeting not related to my work but for a "community organization". During the course of the conversation I was asked what I do for a living.

When I told the person, his eyes opened wide, he stated this has happened for a reason, and called another family member in. Funny, they have a family member who has a problem and appears to be in denial about it.
