The Coalition of the Swilling

The part I love are all his arrests for drugs.

They have to be some seriously prehensile digits, eh?

Well, we'll call it a draw then.

Tangentially, have you guys ever seen this?

"He spent time in prison for kicking a Florida Highway Patrol trooper after an accident in 1996."

So, the one-legged man finally won the butt kicking contest. Good for him!

Hmmm. All you guys down in Florida should be cautious. We all know what his latest antic is going to cost him...and he appears to be a bit short.

Hmmmm.

When I was in my early twenties I sold a beatup car to a guy running a used car lot in Long Branch, NJ, for a couple hundred dollars. I was going to ask for more but I really didn't need the money and I was frankly fascinated by the car dealer.

He didn't have any arms.

So it was a bit of a curious thing to have a guy write his signature on a check using his right foot and then, whilst holding the checkbook with his left foot, tear the check off and hand it to me. I've never had anybody hand a check to me using his foot before or since.

But what really stunned me as I was walking away was the realization that my junker car was a 4 speed *stick*. I turned around to go back and see if he need my help to park the car on the lot. I had just turned around when I saw him get into the car, opening the door with his foot, and start the car up.

Then the car smoothly moved forward and then the guy did a left turn and, all in one motion, **backed the car through a very narrow passage into the car lot**.

So.

How did the guy manage the steering wheel, stick, clutch, brake and gas using two legs?

Not a clue. I turned around again and walked away. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
