[Diabetes-talk] Prosthesis (was Whole Lemons)

When my parents were fairly elderly, they were driving a car that could be
lifted off its chassis, so my husband and I decided to check on a Chevy that
looked pretty good for them. We walked into the dealership and talked for
quite a while with the salesman. In the end he couldn't find the key and
said to me "You come back tomorrow, and I'll have the key so you can drive
it." I said "Not me. We'll let my husband do the driving. I'm blind." He
said "You can't be. We've just had a half-hour conversation, and you've
looked at me the whole time." The kicker was that the next day when we went
back, he handed me the keys. Just testing, I guess!
