That one took me a couple of times to get it. You are the master of subtlety, Stilt! Bravo!

I'm no expert on epilepsy, but I'm aware of blackouts or memory loss from the episodes. And the random pulsating motion of hooping could be similar enough to the strobing lights that can kick off a fit. So maybe that's it.

She's hot, he's transfixed, being around her hits him ... a whole lot of shakin' going on, on both sides. Afterwards, he can't remember. But he probably wants to seizure. Um, seize her I meant. :-)

I hope Pepe's friends will keep the new girl away from him. It's hard for me to look at her and I'm not epileptic!

@Bobo the Hobo- I like gags that take a moment to "click" in the brain. Glad you enjoyed it!

@Drew458- I'm no expert on epilepsy either, but I know a lot more about it than I wish. I once made a mild epilepsy joke in front of someone who scolded me for my insensitivity and I responded that both my wife and daughter had epilepsy and so I'd paid my dues and could joke if I wanted.

@JustaJeepGuy- I love her look and at the point I added all the silly sound effects she became genuinely dizzying!

I knew a woman with epilepsy once, we were out with her and her husband and I ended up on the dance floor with her when the DJ turned a strobe light on. Before anyone could say anything, she just danced over, took off the vest she was wearing over her blouse and dropped it over the light then continued on as if nothing had happened.

Really hating this comment board, the 'I am not a robot' bit is useless now that robots can lie.

@Anonymous- Good for her!

@Oldarmourer- I've tried turning off that security stuff but apparently I can't. Sorry!
