Having epilepsy is not a disability, it's a treatable medical condition. It runs in my wife's family and no one has ever been offended by jokes and the like. My brother-in-law , like Neil Young, is nicknamed Shakey !!!!

True, there are different types of epilepsy with different degrees of severity. For some, epilepsy is controlled by medications. For others though, uncontrolled seizures wreak havoc on all aspects of life, including the ability to work and earn a living. People suffering  from uncontrolled seizures, may be able to qualify for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.

Yes, I have a family member with severe epilepsy. We would never find a 'joke' about someone having 'fits' as anything but cruel. Sorry.

Life is all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship's kitchen.

This is getting seriously un-funny.

The lawyer said to the wealthy art collector tycoon: “I have some good news and, I have some bad news…”

The tycoon replies: “I’ve had an awful day, let’s hear the good news first?

The lawyer says: “Well your wife invested $5,000 in two pictures this week that she figures are worth a minimum of $20 to $30 million.”

The tycoon replies enthusiastically: “Well done…my wife is so smart!

You’ve just made my day; now what’s the bad news?”

The lawyer answers: “The pictures are of you with your secretary.

A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy.

 “Magic beer,” he says.

“Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?”

Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile.

“Amazing!” the man says. “Lemme try some of that!” The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof —and plummets 15 stories to the ground.

The bartender shakes his head. “You know, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk, Superman.”

Can we please enjoy this without getting political?   

American Medical Association has weighed in on Trump's healthcare package:

The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!" The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow. The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter." The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no. In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.
