I'm an identical twin, so I get every kind of joke imaginable thrown at me daily. I know that being an identical twin isn't a disability or a negative trait, but it does attract all sorts of stupidity. "Man, your brother is ugly!" "Is your brother's penis as long as yours?" "Am I seeing double oh wow!" "Can you feel this? *punches other twin*"
On top of that, I inherited four taste and smell disorders in 2001 (Hyposmia, Parosmia, Hypogeusia, and Dysgeusia) due to untreated viruses I had (Bronchidis, Strept Throat, and Pneumonia in the same month). Well, to make a long story short, one day I woke up in April of 2001 and found out my sense of taste and smell were damaged and mostly gone. Chocolate tastes like antifreeze to me, and lavender lotion tastes like candy. I get all sorts of weird looks when I deny candy or the other foods that don't taste right anymore. I can't stand it when people say "you don't have anything wrong with you, it's in your head." If they were in my position, they'd see how fun eating chocolate is when it tastes like car fluid and how neat it is to drink a Dr. Pepper and it taste like rotten cucumbers.
