no slurpees for the legless.

so i'm walking down the street, when i see the pakistani corner store owner arguing with this legless guy in a wheel chair.
as i get closer, i see the paki first pointing at the guy's nubs, then at the 'no shoes- no service' sign.
'i am sorry my friend,' the pak says in his authentic 'stani accent. 'but policy is policy'.

i nearly split my sides laughing.

I am not sure what is so funny about that. Then again I don't get these things often.

i dunno. i thought it was pretty funny.

;iulu said...

it's funny
in a humorless sort of way.
ironic more than mirthful.

s.j., why?

kasamba said...

Your post reminds me of all those jokes like
Q:'what do you call a man with no arms or legs?
A:Art
and how we all say they're awful but inside we are CRACKING UP!

(or maybe it's just evil old me he, he, he)

socialworker/frustrated mom said...

Don't delete it, all that matters is that you think it's funny.

s.J. said...

thanks y'all.

bob.
what do you call a quarapalegic mute in a pile of leaves?
russel

;iulu said...

[fine the bob one was funny..]

socialworker/frustrated mom said...

Should I embarrass myself and say I don't get the answers to the jokes. Too late.

s.J. said...

basket case #1 can't swim, he can only bob.

unfortunate #2 can't get out or call for help. all he can do is rustle.

again, i don't advise anyone to say either of these at the dinner table. projectile vomiting will ensue.

tested and proven...

socialworker/frustrated mom said...

Thanks for explaining I didn't expect you to. I didn't laugh but I don't usually laugh at jokes.

s.J. said...

they weren't super longwinded and complicated explainations.

anything for a friend.

socialworker/frustrated mom said...

Scraps said...

Moms are masters of "do as I say, not as I do". Didn't you know that already?

s.J. said...

but of course.
(though my mom is pretty good about trying to break that habit)

s.J. said...

good.

I feel terrible-- I know I shouldn't have, but I did. I laughed out loud. This is terrible.Obviously-- at least I hope- the Pakistani guy didn't understand there are exceptions to the health code violations-- or maybe he has his own twisted system.
I can't believe I laughed.

anonym00kie said...

i think the only one who didnt laugh is the pakistani guy...
