An old man was asked, "At your ripe age, which would you prefer to get , Parkinsons or Alzheimer's?"
The old man answered, "Definitely Parkinsons".
"Better to spill half an ounce of Crown Royal , than to forget where you keep the bottle!!"

Sorry.... I do not find this funny. I happen to be 70 and have several friends and neighbors that are suffering from one or the other. Both lead to a very ugly death to people that do not IMO deserve such fate.
You have hit a sensitive nerve on this one. May you never suffer such a fate yourself.

My wife died from complications of PD. But, God bless her, she left us with her sense of humor in tip-top shape. I speak for her when I say your joke would have given her a chuckle.
Laughter is the best medicine. Keep your sense of humor and send them our way.

For many people the joke may bring laugh, no doubt. But I guess few would rate it polite.
Ok, Ok. jokes aren't supposed to be polite. Nevertheless, it would be nice if they were.

As a stroke survivor for 12 years, I appreciate a good joke and a good laugh, even at my expense. My family and I are usually the participants, but I'll even joke with my friends about my limitations.
Here is a video of one comedian who had a stroke and decided to continue his stand-up career anyway:

Oh, I am a survivor myself, and have visible limitations. I personally don't care about some weird or nasty things some few people say about my gait or speech, and certainly know that there is no real evil intentions most of times. Bus as sure as there are persons like MisterWilson, that, BTW, have my admiration, there are many others that take these items differently, in a more sensitive or painful way. Now, this is not their choice. That's the way they are. Al FR-153 has full right to feel about as he does, and also has my admiration about showing it.
Best regards.
Best regards.

It's much worse to have your mind and not be able to do simple things like stand up straight w/o falling, not be able to drive, or to be incontinent than to not know what you have lost because your mind is gone. Neither disease is salvageable but if your Parkinson's is fast progressing - there's nothing worse. Bless everybody with either disease!

I was just trying to make light of a bad disease and my wife and I lost a very dear friend of 38 years and my wife knew her sense childhooh of Parkinson's. She used to joke about it I guess so people would not feel sorry for her. Her husband stuck it out with her to the very end. If I offened any one I'm sorry.
