There's always someone worse off than you.

It's amazing what you learn. Reading around last night, I discovered that there is an identifiable medical condition called "stress incontinence".
I used to think I was hard done by with getting stress migraines, but in that light of that I'll never complain about them again.

Baloobas is right -- stress incontinence happens if you piddle a bit when you sneeze or something like that.

Oh! I naturally assumed it was "Gosh, I'm having a tough day at work today *parp*. Oh dear."

Well, what was I *supposed* to think?

LOL! It leads one to think of all sorts of stress-related maladies. Is there stress-flatulence?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I had to google that. How do you know about it?

Oddly, I've never found myself wondering "Gosh, I wonder why that lady smells of wee. Perhaps I ought to investigate!"
Is that what everyone else does?

Reminds me of that old piece of student graffiti, "Exams, nature's laxative."

Stress caused by incontinence, or incontinence caused by stress?

Alas, neither. The truth turns out to be much less funny than I assumed.
Doesn't it always, though?
