Just a thought Nick, but if you go on a lunch with them again have a look on here first

http://www.cdc.gov/DiseasesConditions/

Pick a couple out of the list and then you can contribute to the conversation with conditions that you or a close friend have been 'diagnosed' with.

If you can combine horrific, disgusting and potentially contagious then you are on to a winner.  eveilgrin:
