Funny you mention that. My uncle Robert was an elephant man.
The doctors were fascinated by him since the condition only went so far and stopped before he became too disfigured.

My riffing on Proteus/Proteus syndrome:
I started to write it in reply to Sally's Elephant Man comment...phone rang...didn't finish or see what you'd written in the meantime about your uncle - till after I'd posted.

It looks horribly insensitive.
Which I'm not.
Which is why I feel this explanation is in order.

Ah right.

It used to tell you when someone has posted, before the 'upgrade'.

Surely it wouldn't be seen as insensitive. And don't call me Shirley.

I thought of the play but didn't know that was what EM's condition was called. Duh.
But now I can see it - you could say, "Bob's your uncle".
