> [@treis](#): > > … in a wheel chair? My dungeon is not wheelchair accessible. If I kept wheelchair-bound Hungarians down there I would have to walk ALL THE WAY DOWNSTAIRS and back up again when I wanted to slap someone. That’s like a thousand steps each way. Not gonna happen. And no, I’m not putting in an elevator. That’s just stupid. In sum: the disabled are NOT welcome as prisoners in my dungeons, victims in my torture rooms, or test subjects in my vivesection laboratories. Anyone who feels this is wrong can bite me. ---

It seems like the wheelchair bound would be the easiest to keep in that situation, what with all those stairs. ---

How are you supposed to inspire random passers-by with your courage and physical ability while being on the receiving end of dirty looks? ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > Crochety “old men” with an attitude and a sense of humor are some of the best IMO. Hell, I almost look forward to a cane and being hunched over yelling at kids to get off my lawn. Wouldn’t that be a knitting needle instead of a cane? (Yes, I really reached for that one; however, I didn’t need to shame/embarrass/harass/threaten to sue anyone to help me reach.) ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Lugs lift him up where he belongs. I hate you. I now have an earworm. My late friend Harold, a paraplegic, would occasionally get muscle spasms and fall out of his wheelchair. The first time I was with him when this happened, I was horrified and knelt down beside him to see if he was ok. He whispered “Hire the handicapped, it’s fun to watch them work.” Harold was incredibly intelligent, funny, and had a substance abuse problem. He throughly disabused me of the notion that having a wheelchair magically confers sainthood. **Jamie** , you might want to look over the paperwork with your settlement. They usually contain language where you agree to stop alleging malpractice in exchange for the cash. Not always, though, so you might want to check. ---
