Jordan says People tell me I have a dark sense of humour because I made fun of my own illness..
The friend responds I think it's inappropriate to joke about sickness..
Jordan responds But if I don't laugh, I might cry, so it's better for me to find the humour in things..
The friend responds I guess I can understand that. Either way, I hope you get better soon..
