A man once came into my business and rented a car from me, I wasn’t sure he could drive due to his disability…he had a female with him, most likely his wife who I assumed would drive.
After negotiating price and size we completed the transaction as agreed and he signed the paperwork, declined adding his wife to the contract to drive…hopped in his PT Cruiser and drove off
Pretty normal so far right?..nope
See this man did not have arms…none…he merelt had hands that grew from his shoulder sockets…watching this man sign the contract perfectly and no being able to see the line was amazing
But watching him drive away…there was absolute silence in the building as we all watched…the sound of my jaw hitting the floor was followed by “oh wow” and “oh my god” echoed again and again
My question is not how this many drove the 70 miles to his destination…but
How does this man use the bathroom…?
This is my first post and I hope I haven’t offended anyone, but I’ve always loved the straight dope book so maybe I could get the straight dope on this mystery…

There are long-handled devices available that hold a wad of toilet paper for those who can’t reach that resemble shower brushes minus the brush. I’ve also head of the morbidly obese carrying pieces of cheesecloth to use with a towling motion (one end held in either hand, sawed back and forth) and he might have a portable solution along those lines.
I’m not sure if it’s one of those tasks that one might be able to do with one’s feet, but that’s also not completely absurd.
I once saw a woman who and NO hands (not even stubs) get in a car (unlocking it with her feet), and drive away. Most amazing thing I’d seen in a long while…

Dear OG NO MY EYES I CANNOT UNSEE THIS AARRGGHHHHHHH
I used to be marginally acquainted with a guy like that: hands sprouting from the shoulders. I didn’t ever ask, but assumed thalidomide as the culprit. He, too, could drive a car.
There’s a very cool film entitled something like “A Day in the Life of Bonnie Consuelo” about a woman born with no arms or hands. She could do everything with her feet, from peeling tomatoes to writing checks at the grocery store (better “foot” writing than my handwriting) to putting on her own makeup.
Very amazing, the adaptivity of the human organism.
I used to know a girl (a friend of my husband’s) who could roll a joint with her feet! She had one stub of an arm, and no hands. My husband told me when he first met her, she was sitting up on the counter frying bacon and eggs! Amazing.
