Well now your screwed. M Rating, no very pc article

I think there is a tendency for us to believe sterotypes: regardless where they come from. We may think on which race is better at math, one at sports and so on, the Dutch continue to be a mystery. I am the 1st to raise a protest at a racist joke or a gender biasised comment.

So today we are at the local Co-op, pretty 'PC' to start, don't you think? I am walking past the fresh soup aisle, it is located next to the wine, you do the math. This voice comes out of nowhere "Hey give me a sample cup." I look about and here is a gentleman in an electric wheel chair deal. He points out the cup he wants, the bowl I reached for was not the free stuff. Clearly my ability to walk makes me dumber than most. I hand him the sample cup, not good enough. "Fill it up with soup" he snaps. I do as requested and hand him the soup, "You forgot the spoon." He is clearly annoyed with my lack of insight to his needs as an ADA poster child.

Well, we sort out the needs of my new walking challenged friend and my wife and I go to have our whole wheat sandwich in the dining area. A few moments later my new friend rams his battery powered into our table and says "Hey, are you reading my newspaper, I left it hear and I know people steal newspapers."

I assure him it is not his, since it was in a very high place where he could not have left it.

He moves on and extracts a confession from another diner that perhaps he stole the paper.

It reminded me of a really bad joke I had heard years before.

Guy is fishing on a pier and a woman rolls up to him in a wheelchair. She stares at him and he feels he should engage her in conversation. After a bit, she confesses she has never been hugged, so being a good guy he hugs her. A bit later she says no one has ever held her hand and stroked her face. Of course he does the right thing. As he gets ready to leave she says "no man as ever kissed me!" Reluctantly, he gives her a quick kiss and attempts to move on. Finally, she grabs his hand and says "no one has ever screwed me"

At this point, he pushes her off the pier and says,"well now your screwed."

Just being in a chair doesn't remove your ability to be a prick.
