Karate Duck

People have told me they are worried about getting parkinson's. Don't be. In Canada, your chances of being a victim of this disease are less than 0.3%, slightly better than your chances of being kicked to death by a duck.

However, your chances of being a victim of PD increase if:

1. you have red hair
2. you are male
3. you are >60
4. you are Amish (in which case, you are probably not reading this)
5. you have a close relative with PD
6. you have suffered a head trauma at some point(s) in your life
7. you are caucasian
8. you are a junkie

There are many other weird and wild statistics, but still, I wouldn't worry about PD - unless your hand is doing a 2-step. Then, go see a doctor.

By the way, if you are a black haired, drinker and smoker, your chances of being a victim are reduced; but, then you have to worry about these little beauties: cirrhosis, emphysema and lung cancer.

Take the advice of Alfred E. Neuman..."What, me worry?"
