You ever notice how the term "crippled" just sounds so harsh? I mean, if I twist my ankle, I'm not "crippled." I'm just momentarily inconvenienced. But apparently, if your leg has its own agenda and decides to take a break without giving you notice, you're officially "crippled." I tried to be all optimistic about it, though. I started calling myself "limber limps." It's got a nice ring to it, right? Sounds like a dance move or a workout routine. "Come on, everybody, let's get those limber limps going!" I even thought about starting a fitness class for the temporarily impaired. We'd be the most flexible group in town.

You know, language is a funny thing. The other day, I overheard someone saying, "I burnt my toast, now it's crippled." And I thought, wait a minute, we're comparing toast to people now? That's a bit much. So, I decided to have some fun with it. I went to a restaurant and ordered a well-done steak. When the waiter brought it, I looked at it and said, "Wow, this steak is so crispy, it's practically crippled!" The waiter just stared at me like I was a menu vandalizer. Hey, if my steak can be crispy, then so can I!

One advantage of being "limber limped" is that you get to play the cripple card whenever you want. Forget about pulling out the race card or the gender card; I've got the cripple card, and it's like having a get-out-of-jail-free card in Monopoly. I was at a long queue once, and I just flashed my crutches. People started parting like the Red Sea. I felt like Moses with a mobility aid. I didn't even have to say anything; they just assumed I had a pressing engagement with a chair. The cripple card – my secret weapon in the battle against waiting in line.

Being crippled, or as I like to say, "limber limped," has its perks. I can always find a parking spot, right up front. I call it the VIP parking of life. But there's a downside too. People expect me to be really good at wheelchair sports. I went to play wheelchair basketball once, and let me tell you, it's not as easy as it looks. I felt like a giraffe on roller skates. Every time I tried to make a basket, the ball ended up in the lap of the guy in the front row. I told them, "I may be crippled, but my aim is just fine. It's the wheels that need a GPS.
