I agree.  I make fun of my situation all of the time.  It's what keeps me going 
and I thought that post was really funny.  I can think of a few to add to the 
list of things that we can do that AB'S can't..lol.

I agree with you.  A person without a sense, cent or scent of humor is not 
human.  Perhaps, this is one thing that separates us from animals and 
computers.  Those without humor.. are doomed.
Get some humor into your life!

[QUAD-L] Funny or bad taste

2008-04-04 Thread theomen723
Hey guys,

I was joking around and built a website on my PC to make fun?of ?my 
disability.? One of the links entitled It's A Wheelchair
housed what I call the Proven Paralysis Program.? I've had many AB tell me I'm 
horrible for writing something like this.
Just wondering what you guys think.? 

Luke? c-5/6 incomplete? 7 1/2 yrs post

Here's what it says:


You too can improve your quality of life with the help of guru motivator Lucas 
Brown! 



Welcome to the wonderful world of wheelchairs. If you are sick of the 
inconvenience of walking, the exhaustion of running, and the monotony of 
standing then you might be a candidate for the Proven Paralysis Program (simply 
put - the PP Program). I take otherwise average able bodied people and turn 
them into rolling works of art.? With my help paralysis is only a step away. 
Just listen to the testimonies from these satisfied customers. 



Thanks to LB I no longer have to run around like some sort of primitive ape. 
-grateful 



I used to have fat legs, but now that the muscles have atrophied I'm as skinny 
as a toothpick. -pleased 



Alright, even I thought being paralyzed from the neck down would be 
horrible...but thanks to Mr. Brown I no longer have to feel the arthritis pain 
in my hands when I hug my grandkids. - veni vedi vici BABY

Coming Soon the at home paralysis kit!!

Included in the package: 

1 Blunt guillotine 

1 Coupon for free ambulance ride 

2 Real working neck stabilizers 

5 Wheelchair shaped cookies (sorry parents those are for the kids)

you forgot to mention the great parking spots you now get to  use - 'guilt 
free' and those handy big public stalls in the restrooms.   there's also never 
any back pain, knee aches or tired feet, no standing in long  lines, no jury 
duty, and best of all, no boring job you HAVE to go  to.

Re: [QUAD-L] Funny or bad taste

2008-04-04 Thread Eric W Rudd
They originated in Greece where drama started a very long time ago.

Masks were used in almost every play back then to emphasize the face since the 
theatres were so big and outdoors some people way in the back might not have 
been able to see the actors face. Also the mask helped show the characters 
emotion (there were several emotions but the two most general were happy and 
sad)

Over time the sad looking mask was used to signify drama and the happy looking 
mask symbolized comedy
