People with Tourettes Syndrome can break out in inappropriate behavior without warning....you never know, you'll be talking to someone who is seemingly normal when all of a sudden he'll swear, or say something completely out of whack....Christians have this affliction...you'll be discussing the latest economic theory with a professor, or chemical analysis, or political development when all of a sudden that person, seemingly normal till then, will break out with, "of course we live on clouds when we die"...or, "you know Jesus walked on wine", or, "in the name of the Father and a Ghost", at which point the fellow will jab at himself in the head and stomach with two fingers (three if he has it badly), or suddenly fall to his knees and clasp his hands together...or some such idiocy. It's a mental disorder and we shouldn't hold it against them...we just have to explain it to the children so they'll be prepared...


Definition of TOURETTE'S SYNDROME:

A familial neurological disorder of variable expression that is characterized by recurrent involuntary tics involving body movements (as eye blinks or grimaces) and vocalizations (as grunts or utterance of inappropriate words), often has one or more associated conditions (as obsessive-compulsive disorder), is more common in males than females, and usually has an onset in childhood and often stabilizes or ameliorates in adulthood.
