Well I guess it's hard to think of that many funny stories when you've lived with this condition because in life we all seem to be constantly surviving it, but great discusion area all the same. Lets say that I have deffinately had alot of uplifting moments when I realised the situation was not as bad as it seemed - by this I suppose I mean over anticipating it for the worst & the event or venue turned out to be perfectly managable in the end. In day to day avoidance you would hope to not perhaps remember every tiny detail - which if is the case for you - like myself it is not too bad, with some situations in the past just leaving you in a miricale state of mind as to just how you managed! I guess one that sticks in my mind was when I was in the states as an early teen on holiday with my family & we went to a really unusual Hotel called the Madonna Inn (San Luis Obispo in California). Anyway this place was extream in its decoration in every way. At this stage in my life I did not have AP it's just something I can remember because as I went into the mens toilet there I saw you literaly stepped up to rocks to pee into what can only be described as a small scale waterfall urinal. I just went in there freshen up & maybe used the an equaly ornate & in keeping closed door WC but on coming out found it very amusing to hear two Amercian chaps standing at the waterfall urinal shouting & yelping 'Jes this is wild' & laughing all the way out of the there !! try this link :- http://www.fototime.com/%7BFA9D0806-3E82-4FB1-BC81-8315BF1A6DB3%7D/picture.JPG
