Handicapped Parking Quotes

“We pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot, and she pointed to a handicapped spot right near the front. Like I wouldn't see it. We had just gotten out when someone walking by stopped to give us a disapproving look.

"You know that spot is for handicapped people," he said. He was a little pip-squeak, someone who should have had something better to do than heckle two ladies.

"Oh, you're just who I need," Donnie said in a sweet voice. "Can you come over here and help me with something?" She pointed to the inside of the van.

He softened, maybe remembering his Southern manners. "Well, sure," he said. "I can help you."

*Oh boy,* I thought.

He ambled over as she leaned on the side of the van. When he went to look in the window, she took off her right leg in one fell swoop and started beating him with it.

"*This* is why I park in the handicapped," she said, hopping on her good leg.”
