Why would anyone wish themselves so afflicted 
Tourette Syndrome - Henry Spink Foundation
Symptoms
Common examples of motor tics include eye twitching/blinking, facial grimacing, head jerking, shoulder shrugging, jumping, kicking, finger movements, jaw snapping, tooth clicking, frowning and touching people. Vocal tics include throat clearing, hissing, yelping, sniffing, grunting, tongue clicking, uttering words or phrases inappropriately (echoing others, or blurting out obscene words), repeating the same phrase several times |
That's what I was thinking, Margaret.
I think that some people find Tourette's funny because you can swear all day and have a valid reason for it, but seriously, no I would not like Tourette's for the day.
Just as I would not like Parkinson's Disease or Motor Neurone disease for the day.
Tourette's is a serious affliction just like the other two I mentioned. It would be no joke.
