After 15 years of shift work as pedestrian and now since 5 years as frequent driver in a wheelchair I could be addressed by this sign.
I am said to bang my head against a wall sometimes, but a sign directing to the wall is even new to me
“Passing for handicapped and shift-workers only”
What might be hidden behind the wall???
Click on tag “Signs”, there is more to see…

A blind, a deaf and a wheeler stand at the river Jordan.
Then a voice speaks to them:
Swim through the river, and you will experience a miracle.
The wheeler is pushing the blind first to the right direction, and he falls into the water.
He swims to the other side and calls out loud, I can see again, I can see again.
Now it’s the turn of the deaf, when he comes out of the water he cries out lout, I can hear again!!!
The wheeler jumps into the water, he just makes it to the other side without drowning.
When he comes up the bank, he calls out loud:
Yippie… a set of “new tyres”,… a set of “new tyres”…!!!

Original and unopened item!
A cup of probably still delicious
in “Palo-Duck” flavour, still from my pedestrian times, for sale.
I am parting with a heavy heart from this emergency ration!
Because there is no “best before” date on it, the content should still be in an acceptable condition. A must for each gourmet…
The visual deformations of the cup are caused by the momentum.
Product will go for the best offer. In the comment please!!!
Funny which stuff one can find in the store-room

When I was watching the fine art of women’s beach volleyball (of course out of sporting interest only) from the beach promenade in Los Cristianos in Tenerife, two elderly ladies came by and addressed me in English. They wanted to give me such an Anglo-Saxon information brochure.
I had a specific presentiment and said to the ladies that my English is not the best. It turned out quickly that the ladies were German.
Because I stood next to a small wall and they blocked my escape – I didn’t want to drive over their feet with my harnessed Minitrac – I got involved into a little chat with them.
Finally they gave me a German brochure about stressed and overworked physicians… eh…!!!
Well, since my accident 2007 I am quite familiar with this subject, but mainly from the perspective of a hospital bed during the ward round.
Just another two years, and I will know more physicians than there are beer brands in Germany.
By taking a closer look into the information material I had to grin a little about the up-to-dateness, have a look yourself:
Unbelievable but true:
At that time I was still pedestrian!
(Translator’s note: German readers immediately recognize “Awakening”, the magazine of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Germany)
Well, strictly speaking the first edition of the bible wasn’t published yesterday either!

It happens again and again that a normal ignorant disabled parking place occupying pedestrian is verbally dissed by some random hobbling or wheelchair driving disabled people, only because he is parking with his Land Rover or Cabriolet on a disabled parking place.
They shouldn’t make such a fuss, they are almost all retired anyway, are paid by the general public and have enough time to look for another parking place.
To avoid such disputes in the future and keep on pursuing his God-given right to unchallengedly park on a disabled parking place, the association of
has released some internal tips for the procedure of
1. You need a disabled parking permit.
The copying of valid permits should be avoided due to falsification of documents. Laminating of blue papers or blue student ID cards didn’t show the desired success.
It is the easiest to look for a senile relative. If you unfortunately don’t have an ideally comatose granny, a visit in the nearest nursing home is necessary. There you are looking for an inhabitant in a wheelchair with Oldsheimer, for whom you become the so-called disabled parking partner. The necessary handicapped ID with the walking disability entry usually lies in the left drawer of the cabinet. Let the person sign the in the download area available application form, or sign yourself. After approximately 4 weeks you receive by mail a blue valid “parking permit for disabled person”. Then the first step is completed.
2. The correct leaving of the car
When you have parked quasi “legally” on a disabled parking place, you shouldn’t jump out of the car like an 18-year-old and walk away. It all depends on the correct technique in leaving the car, as not to be revealed as non-disabled. Always carry a sad face, or best the model: I am displeased with the whole situation!
How to leave the car “not in perfection” can be watched in the following video from our American member Homer.
He is still getting off too fast, his timing is not right yet. His wailing look in connection with the quite good hobbling appears a bit overacted. This can be improved with a little bit of practice. The variant to park like Homer on several disabled parking places at the same time increases the credibility that one is disabled, but can lead to misinterpretations.

If all these tips are taken to heart, parking in front of the opera or the town house should always be possible, if not another member of the association is already parking on it.

Â
That a 40 year old wheelchair user is put on the scrap heap is more than just a rumour, especially if you receive a pension.
On inquiry at the travel agency about possible assistance at the holiday destination I was referred to a
That gave me something to think about…
It is often claimed that women cannot park and men cannot find the butter in the fridge!!!
I leave this theory uncommented.
After years of intensive studies of human behaviour I came to the statistic, scientifically provable result that women predominantly feel the desire for champagne and wine, whereas men, no matter from which parts of the country they are, can’t resist the temptation of a weiss beer.
The visual similarity of a
is striking.
I additionally support this theory crystal-clear with the fact that wine and champagne glasses rather resemble an X chromosome.
This evolutionary association is more than obvious.
With this irrevocable fact I strive for reference at the “Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences“ in Stockholm!
