Also see : www.tourettes.com - not really funny at all, except for the logo at the top. Poor taste, surely! J.

From www.tsa-usa.org:

Q. Is obscene language (coprolalia) a typical symptom of TS?

A. Definitely not. The fact is that cursing, uttering obscenities, and ethnic slurs are manifested by fewer than 15% of people with TS. Too often, however, the media seize upon this symptom for its sensational effect.
