*A story*
I was at the welfare office years ago trying to apply for medicaid and the woman I got as my caseworker was telling me a sad story about how I was lucky that my disability wasn't physical because of the extreme difficulty it is to get accepted that way. Apparently the exams you need to pass are very strict and she went on to tell me that this man that she had as a client got into some sort of accident and was missing one arm and both his legs. She went on to say that this man was denied benefits because he didn't meet the requirements of being "disabled". I broke out in laughter. She obviously found it disturbing that i'd laught at such things and had the nerve to tell me that I laugh at very inappropriate times. I then replied with "Sorry, but it just goes to show you that in the end the goverment screws us all".

that actually happens very often and the more ridiculous, the more I laugh
