I noticed the “look” first, pity followed by disgust, and chuckled at a T-shirt that said, “Hillary won.”
“Do you need medication?” She asked, with feigned concern.
“I have Tourette’s,” I replied. “My fingers fly across a piano, and my intelligence is above average. Unfortunately, intolerant people don’t understand when my arm flies outward. I grimace and I sniff, too.”
“That must be embarrassing.”
Just what I needed, fake tolerance. “My husband doesn’t mind.”
“You’re married?”
I sighed. “Did you know that Mozart, Samuel Johnson, and Howard Hughes had Tourette’s?”
“Who?” She asked.
“That explains a lot,” I snickered.
Ignorance is bliss – a fabulous piece – I love it.

It is easier to educate people who do not know a topic and want to learn, than those who would prefer to fake understanding. 🙂
