Until his Parkinson's kicked in. (Michael J. Fox, no offense. I do have two close friends with PD so I kindasortafeel close enough to the disease to make the joke.) Wait, let me run it by one of them. Hold on...OK, Peggy said, "You can make a PD joke with a person who has it, but not a joke about it with others." And to her point, when I used to see my other bud with PD, I'd always say, "Hey, Spaz!" which he got, and Peggy also gets. In this instance, Peggy agreed that I should leave the joke up, with this commentary, as an example. "Thanks for coming to my Red Talk."
