snappy comebacks

We drifted topics in the comments of one of the other posts and started discussing how we explain our pm's. I tell people my atria and ventricle don't talk so the pm has to mediate. How do you tell people about yours?

Nice

I usually explain why I have my pm, but if it's alright with you, could I use TracyE's explanation??? It's da beast, I cracked up! :) I bet people's expression would be like :0.

I dont have a good answer for why, but being so young when i am seeing someone new and tell them about my pacemaker the same question comes up. If we have sex will you have a heart attack? The question itself cracks me up but i always answer back.."do you really think you are that good?"
