My ah has been sober for a few days because he has gout in his foot. For anyone who doesn't know, gout is an extremely painful inflammatory disease affecting the joints usually in the feet (ankle and big toe usually.) And, of course, alcohol is one of the contributors to this disease. Anyway, he's been in his chair most of the day because it's too painful to walk anywhere except to the bathroom.

His alcoholic brother called him this afternoon and wanted to talk. His brother was very drunk. I head my h ask his brother, "Well, who pi$$ed in your cherrios today. The next this I know, my husband is telling him to get over it and husband hung up.

I asked my husband what the problem was  (now hold on folks cause this gets funny) and husband says "That drunk a$$  just wants to argue and I don't feel like listening to it." I gave my husband a little advice on how to handle his alcoholic brother the next time he calls drunk. Husband  wanted to know if I learned that at my meetings. I just kind of laughed and told him yeah. Now how is that for irony??
