Spanish police pull over man in wheelchair on expressway

The story starts out weird, and gets weirder:

Word really do fail me.

If you’re riding in your wheelchair looking for a brothel, don’t get lost and end up on the freeway, or everyone will know about it. Around the world.

Oh yeah, last time it happened to me was so embarrassing.

Hey, he’s just minding his own business–and the cops pull him over! For speeding! I ask you…

Lucky for him he passed the breathalyzer test. No telling what the penalties would have been for DUI in a wheelchair.

BTW, he’s apparently got a distant cousin or something in Nova Scotia, who wasn’t on his way to a brothel, but still.

Maybe he was smart enough not to mention this.

What does a quadriplegic do at a brothel anyway? I would assume that the 5th limb is also paralyzed?

Read John Callahan’s book he Won’t Get Far on Foot. Callahan is the paralyzed cartoonist best known for his stuff from Penthouse. He’s in a wheelchair and doesn’t have full use of his hands. His autobiographical book tells a lot about his life before and after his accident. He definitely has a sex life.

Hello, On*Star?

You get your wheelchair impounded for 90 days for one thing. Hope you’ve got good cable when that happens.

According to the article, the wheelchair “keeps him in a stretched position with the use of his chin and mouth.” This brings all sorts of images to mind.
