Bumper Cars

[Pipeoff]

Because of partial walking problem I often use the battery operated ride on provided by many stores. It works great for moving big ass dames from blocking the isles. Knocking over displays that restrict two way traffic. Brings back memories of bumper car amusement rides at carnivals. Looking forward to having a race with a fellow user. You can get away with a lot being elderly or maybe I have a low threshold for having fun.

almost sounds like fun.

I had a friend where my wife was doing rehab after a hip operation revision. He was near ninety and was in a motorized wheelchair. Being an old Dodge car salesman and later a truck tractor salesman, he had a propensity to drive fast. Finally, the facility management felt he was a hazard in the halls and consigned him to a manual chair. Considering that many of the patients and residents were not all that steady on their feet, I saw the problem, but felt badly for the guy. He was a pipe smoker and I bought him a couple of pipes, though it was hard for him to get out where he could smoke without hassle.

At my last company one of the guy's who worked for me had PhD in mathematics from Cambridge. Whilst he was there his office was next door to Prof. Stephen Hawkings office.

Apparently the professor whizzed around in his wheel chair like he was in an F1 Grand Prix with people diving into any open office to get out of the corridor and his way when he was around lest they be run over... ...and if they were he made it very clear it was entirely their own fault

While looking for a ridding cart for my wife at Walmart, I hate Walmart a fellow about my age almost ran me down, Hey I yelled, he came up to me and said very ugly what did you say, I said watch it, he started a tirade, I let him finish, then told him you get out that cart I’ll stuff it up your ass, he backed away fast, found one for the wife, she had hurt her knee, I told her buy a lot I ain’t coming back!
