A friend of ours lost a leg in a cycling accident. We were at a party at
as mutal friend's house and she had parked on the street a few doors down.
An old lady came out and told her she could not park there, claiming that
she was handicapped and if someone came to pick her up she needed that
spot vacant . There was a driveway beside her house. Our friend said she
was tempted to take off her leg and beat the old bag with it.
