I want that one...

I don't care how pc you are, if you don't find this funny you're not human. The police officer at the scene is quoted in today's Irish Independent as saying "he spilled his drink, but other than that he's not upset".

Top story!

I don't understand why you say "I don't care how pc you are" though. Why would the mere fact of the guy being in a wheelchair rattle the cages of the PC brigage - unless you're suggesting that the truck driver deliberately discriminated against this man on the basis of his disability, of course...

[Whickerman]

Nope. But I'll bet you - from experience - that there are some who'll be 'disgusted' that someone in a wheelchair can be reported on. See, some people are just constantly on the lookout for things to get outraged about.

Same kind of people who call you racist if you don't find certain races sexually attractive...

I feel all evil, I started laughing before I could see the story and the page title was truck carries wheelchair user on....

In reference to that link I wouldn't want to say I didn't find a whole race unattractive because I am sure I could find someone who I did. I have yet to see an attractive Somalian man but I'm not saying he doesn't exist so I wont rule them out.

I found this even funnier.

Love it! Made me chuckle anyway, thanks for sharing Whickerman

:-)

50mph in a wheelchair? Pah, that's nothing. You should see some of the old dears round here in their Batricars - especially when they think there's a danger of getting to the Post Office less than half an hour before it opens.

Mommy Mommy look! The man in the wheelchair he's pulling that big truck down the road!

Go back to sleep Junior, we'll be there soon.
