PS To be honest, my REAL response depending on the person or
situation, would be to laugh. However, on a serious note, it's important to
realise that people from different cultures respond to " an impairment" in
different ways - in parts of Africa, for example, it is not meant to be an
'intrusive" question but rather as an 'acceptance' of the person.
