Elevator

Our building had blood drive today. There was a lot of commotion in the lobby as I returned from getting my lunch, so I scurried into the elevator, along with another woman. I decided to be friendly and ask her, "So, you giving blood today?" She replied, slowly and freakishly, "Well, I can't. I have... a... chronic... disease." We rode in silence the rest of the way up to the 6th floor, as I tried to come up with an appropriate response and hold my breath at the same time.
