“ISIS does make a few good points about Western aggression. They don’t seem that bad and neither does some cranberry juice. I am not screaming because I have a UTI.”

 

Insist that cranberry juice is the drink of celebrities.

Distract with another problem you have in your life.

By bringing up another issue, no one will know your kidneys are quietly being ripped into shreds.

“I accidentally hit my dog with my car on the way here. Can I have a cranberry juice?”
