 That is what George told me. It's so we disabled people can have our
 fun with the sorry ignorance of the abled toward disabilities, but in
 Ah  healthy humorous way. Good heavens we need humor!!! That's the
 biggest issue with disabilities, more so than the disability itself.
 All that 'helpful devices/ compensations' in the world won't make
 up for what a good sense of humor affords: survival.
