Default A story for those who were making fun of my disability...

I got pulled over today in Central Park. A roadblock was set up right around a corner. Apparently Central Park is a 25mph zone; I thought it was a 30 like the rest of the city.

Anyhow, they signaled me over to the side. The cop said "You were going pretty fast there." I said "I'm sorry... Isn't this a 30?" He said "It's a 25... and you were going at least 35 there... This is one of those GTIs, isn't it?" I said "Yes, it is." He said "Yeah, I've driven these before... they move pretty quick...".

He walked away for a moment, and came back saying "We had you at 44 in a 25.. let me have your license." I handed it to him and he said "Do you have some sort of disability?" I said "Yes." He said "And you can still drive a stick shift?" I said "Sure can." He handed me back my license and said 'Wow.. I'm giving you a verbal warning... slow down."

Disability saves me again!

Default He has arms, just very underdeveloped muscles in them.

And he manages to have a mostly normal life anyway... hasn't allowed it to hold him back from driving a manual transmission either.
