The Over Usage of the Term Handicap

Forrest Clemons here, and I would like to touch on a subject that really gets me frustrated.  Have you ever seen the old guy who walks around with his walker in your local convenience store? Or the paraplegic kid who drives around in his little scooter, not harming anyone.  Or the person who just got into a car accident and was injured to the extent where they need a handicap sticker? Well, these, among a few more that were unmentioned, are the TRUE handicaps.

 The ones that have spent their long life shaping the world into what it is now, or just the plane unlucky people are those who deserve this classification.  Now, the 400 lb. gluten who wobbles his way over to the electric scooter carts heads directly to the greasy deep fat fried chocolate bacon wrapped potato chips, does NOT.  Someone who spends their whole life wrapped up in front of the television set, eating cake batter, while watching game shows, does not deserve a parking spot in the front of the lot.

Actually, they should have to park at the very end of the parking lot, because, let us face it, they NEED the exercise. Paraplegics cant just get up and walk everywhere, and war veterans cant go back to ‘Nam and find their severed legs, but the obese can use those legs God gave them, and walk to the fridge, make a salad, and then take a stroll on the treadmill.  So to all of you overweight citizens who have are “handicap”, please realize that your hearts are the only thing that is handicapped, but that can be solved, with some simple goodwill toward men.
