faile,
I know you mean what you said in a spirit of fun, but please do not make fun of the image of a handicapped.
In Japan we respect them and care for them a lot because they did not choose to be.
If you have seen the movie “My left foot” you would certainly make no fun of this issue again.
I have trained myself not to feel pity for handicapped people and to consider them as equals or rather better put to “see them as equals”.
Genetic disorder is a very big issue when it concerns human beings, sometimes it causes leukaemia, in other cases it causes mental retardation, etcetera. So I can hardly see it funny at all.
