One in a wheelchair and one with Cerebral Palsy. What if I told you I don't even feel a little bit bad about it?
Last night we went to go see comedian Tom Rhodes, and his two opening acts were Will Marfori and I guy whose name I can't remember. I actually thought the crowd was too afraid to laugh at most of the jokes - not me though. If disabled people are going to be treated fairly, that also includes laughing at their self-deprecating humor. It's only right.
There were a ton of smart jokes, but I think the audience wasn't the right mix for it. Too many girls-night-outers who just wanted filthy jokes to lighten their dreary days, and also a bunch of 18-20 year old kids who went because they can't get in anywhere else.
So, next time you see a handicapped person fall down, it's okay to laugh a little, because people falling down is funny.
