Two aphasiacs walked in to a bar...

Aphasia (pronounced /əˈfeɪʒə/ or pronounced /əˈfeɪziə/) is an acquired language disorder in which there is an impairment of any language modality. This may include difficulty in producing or comprehending spoken or written language. (From Wikipedia.)

Boston University has an Aphasia Resource Center that's been running for 20 years.
