> Lou it was handed down through generations of buddies and since I have a blind son don't consider it offense just me. Sometimes laughing about a disability helps relieve some of pain, and sometimes not. No way I know of to read brains. I sent it to my Son. He thought it funny. But of course not all will. Now got to post ebay and sleep. Phillipa
Phillipa,

I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A.Is it the joke that was handed down through generations? If so, how far back in time does it go to the original? If it goes back more than 80 years, how did a voice-activated wheelchair get into the story?
B. Are you advocating that any joke can be posted here about a human being that is disfigured or paralyzed as long as some people, or just one person, finds that it is funny to them? If so, could, in your thinking, jokes about Jews be posted here also as long as one person or many people find that it is amusing to them?
