Compassion For The Less Fortunate.

Compassion For The Less Fortunate.

If there's a section of society that I just don't 'get', it's amputees. Let's face it, how many times have you heard the phrase 'as busy as a one-armed paper-hanger in a gale', or 'as busy as a one-legged man in an arse-kicking contest'?

For crying out loud, are they all thick or something? If you've only got one arm *why* are you trying to put up wallpaper at all, let alone when it's quite windy??? I mean, anyone can see that's a recipe for disaster. Ditto the arse-kicking. Someone is going to get hurt and i'd lay odds it's going to be you, Hopalong.

I just don't understand. Is it a cry for help? Is it some macho thing to prove that they're just as capable as normal people? That's just wierd. I'm not saying that if you've lost a limb in some sort of ghastly fashion that you shouldn't be able to pursue the career of your choice but for goodness sake be a bit sensible please. I find the whole concept rather distateful, as a matter of fact.

Right, that's sorted that. Next post: Wealthy, Easily Shocked Socialites Who Choose Laurel and Hardy As Their Piano Removalists.
