I Am Often Asked Questions Like These...

Some of you guys know that I have a stomach problem. Nothing serious but I do have a list of foods that I have to avoid; reason why I mention my gastroenterologist on my postings now and then. So regularly, and I mean… almost everyday, I get questions like these:

Person: Jamie, are you a vegetarian?
Me: Not really.
Person: How come I never see you eating beef or pork?
Me: I cannot eat them… they make me sick to my stomach. I can only eat chicken or turkey.
Person: Ohhh.

Person: Jamie, don't you like shrimp?
Me: I do
Person: How come I never see you have shrimp?
Me: Because even though I like it, I can’t eat it.
Person: But I never see you eating shrimp at all.
Me: I am allergic to it.
Person: Ohhh.

Person: Jamie, don't you eat eggs?
Me: I do.
Person: How come I never see you have eggs?
Me: I don't want to eat too much of them.
Person: But I never see you eating eggs at all. How will that be too much?
Me: The bread I eat at breakfast is made of eggs. Sometimes, I eat noodles or pasta and they're made of eggs too. So that's enough eggs for me. Plus, I am not supposed to eat it, but I do.
Person: Ohhh.

Person: Jamie, don't you drink coffee?
Me: I do. In fact, I love coffee. I am actually going to get some now.
Person: Yeah, but most of the time you don’t have it.
Me: That's right. I try to avoid drinking coffee regularly because my doctor told me so. That way I don't get stomach aches. Drinking tea is healthier.
Person: Ohhh.

So, who's more annoying?
