> [@Penfeather](#): > > So you’re now saying he was able to get up out of his wheelchair, lurch over to a hot grill, turn around and laboriously drop his backside onto it to the extent that he set his clothing on fire, but wasn’t able to repeat the feat to extricate himself? And his friends were what, cheering him on? Sorry, I forgot to address this one. Probably because I had more important crap to deal with in my life that this thread. My spouse is NOT in a wheelchair. I realize that some of you kiddies have this mistaken notion that disabled=wheelchair but that’s not the case. When this comes up I ask that the poster in question please link to the exact post(s) where I say my spouse is a wheelchair user. Of course they never do. Because they CAN’T. Because that post does not exist. My spouse had not needed a wheelchair since the age of 9 when a corrective surgery enabled him to finally walk. Once again, a bunch of people have taken a nugget of truth and confabulated it into fantasies, then convinced themselves I’m the one telling the lies here. I’m not. There are other posts saying he’s a wheelchair user, but they’re invariably by other people, not me. Of course, if any of you disbelieve THAT statement it should be easy enough to disprove, right? Simply search the Straight Dope. As to the precise details of the event I wasn’t there myself, it was before I met him. However, he unquestionably has a badly scarred backside. Which, no, I am not posting a picture of. Frankly, asking someone to post a picture of someone else’s naked ass is pretty scummy behavior and I find it more offensive than the frequent accusations that I am lying. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-beautiful-men-deface-their-bodies-with-tattoos/714058)._
