2004-09-15 - 9:01 a.m. Wholly Crapple So when I was coming off the train today I saw a very bizarre thing. I was running a little late because Cod�s girlfriend and I (she lives with me and works in Boston � which is why we were together) missed the train by like 10 seconds. I wish I had more time to observe this guy, and he wouldn�t know. This is because he was blind. He was getting into the subway and I saw this guy who was totally blinded out with the glasses and the cane, and even the dog. But here is the twist. He was also in a wheelchair. I think he was a blind cripple. Man, talk about getting a handicap parking sticker. This guy should get to park inside the store. Ya know, if he could drive. But like, this situation just wasn�t working. He was using the cane with the right hand, and the dog with the left. But he wasn�t going anywhere because I was a hand cranked wheelchair. So he paused and moved a bit, and like tapped the cane a little, and then the dog was just like �what the fuck guy, lets get a move on� Crank Crank. Stop Tap, dog gets pissed. It was awful. Anyway, I got to thinking. Why aren�t there more blind cripples? I mean seriously. If I was blind, I would be tripping all up over shit, just breaking my bones and legs and neck and stuff. It would be like a one man demolition derby. The car, of course, would be my body. And on that note, why not issue this man a motorized wheelchair. I mean, you got him the dog, the cane, the thick ass �I�m blind� glasses�why not the damn motorized wheel chair. I can�t think of too many other people who are more in need. So here is my theory�he crashed the motorized wheelchair. The Dog was like �whatever� as he sat there next the smoking wreck�and now Mr. Joyride is being punished with the hand crank two wheeler. Hey, at least they didn�t give him the unicycle wheelchair. | |||||||||||
