A new variant of Turrets?

Worked my first men's wreck league games of the year last night. I noticed a strange phenomenon: They all had this apparently unrestrainable urge to start sentences with, "You've gotta..."

I felt bad for them in a way. That's no way to live a life.

Anybody know what causes this? Could it be a lifetime's exposure to the tailings from the old steel mill in that town? Perhaps something in the water?

You hit the nail on the head there.

Tourette's syndrome is spelled that way.

A turret is used in a war.

I play in one.

Last Thursday, as A1 was shooting his free throws for a blocking foul on B1, B1 in the lane tells the official, "He can't dribble with his head down, that's a charge"

Seems more appropriate my way
