Top Ten Non-Lethal Conditions I Don't Want and Probably Don't Have Anyway

• Loss of sphincter control
• Cataracts
• Aneurysms (not to be confused with embolisms, which are lethal)
• Muscular dystrophy
• Diabetes mellitus (I think in my case it would be IDDM)
• Menstruation
• Pregnancy
• Ned Flanders (this condition makes one love other people and have a generally optimistic view of life)

• Dumbness (because I can't keep my mouth shut).
