Lay off the Tourettes. It's about as funny as jokes about cerebral palsy. Not very funny if you know someone who suffers from it.
That pretty much puts all conditions on the "do not say" list doesn't it? Everything from anxiety attacks to obesity. Nevertheless, I don't post things with the goal of offending people. It seemed a fitting thing to say, but it's a little over the line. Sorry.

Maybe I'm oversensitive, having seen what a good friend has struggled with over it. I've notice that hack comedians on ComedyCentral have started making Tourette's jokes so I'm probably overzealous about it. Not sure I have any right to be, I've made plenty of other tasteless jokes myself over the years.
