There needs to be a distinction made here before some of the more enthusiastic travellers jump into their armoured cars and start roaring around going off half cocked like some sort of demented Gatling gun operator who has been smoking Dagga!.
Now let me try to explain. Tourette's syndrome or disease is an unfortunate condition, which usually manifests itself during childhood with a tic or two. Later in life it can be characterised by many symptoms including coprolalia or echolalia. It is not particularly funny.
Turrets, on the other hand, was mooted by one correspondent on these pages as a condition, the affliction with which might lead others to consider the sicko a nutter?
Turrets is a condition apparently undocumented in the annals of medical history. It seems fair and reasonable to speculate as to what the symptoms of this interesting and only recently conjectured condition might be, especially when the creator of this malaise is readily on hand to describe in detail the manifestations of this affliction before it is lost to medical science.
