Serious question, were you left scratching your head over my inititial post? Did it confuse you why someone would, in green text, write that they would rather catch both autism and measles? It never crossed your mind that in a thread about the outbreak of a disease which we have a vaccine for, it could potentially be a simple typo in a joke aimed at people who avoid vaccines due to fear of developing autism?
You guys have been really quick to point out a typo, but why has no one bothered to mention that you can't 'catch' autism in your nitpicking?

Because your funny mistake overshadowed your not very funny attempt at a joke, complete with the even more unfunny use of green text?
