I'm with you on that Gustav.

Saw a friend of mine the other day, he's only got one arm...! 
"Where you off to?" - I shouted. 
"To change a light bulb" he said...
"That's going to be awkward isn't it...?"
 "Not really..." he said, 
"I've still got the  receipt." :-)

AFAIK it's not an illness, it's a personality variant, but fair enough:

out enough.</rant>
