Email subject header: Diabetes Alert?
Hi Everyone,
Recently, I noticed that there are black ants
on the rim of the toilet bowl in the south wing toilet,
that most male colleagues use.
From observation, ants usually stay away from urine.
In ancient days, ants were used to detect if a person has diabetes,
as they are attracted to urine with excess sugar.
If you suspect you have diabetes, it is good to do a check-up soon.
In the mean time, it’s good to wipe the rim
after use to avoid accidental killing.
Thank you on behalf of our ant friends :-]

A colleague replies:
Shian
You are cute! Diabetes alert, check-up?
The way you phrase it is quite nice.
My reply:
Haha. But I know I lack equanimity….
cos I care more about the ants than the person with attractive urine!
