Just seen on the TV that over twenty participants in this years Paralympics have been sent home pending a full inquiry for use of an illegal substance.









































Sorry.

Also, some have been denied for being "not disabled enough"! That did make me chuckle when I heard it on the radio.

It didn't make me 'laugh out loud' but it was semi-amusing. I've heard much better cripple jokes over the years though. Putting on your T-shirt so that one of your elbows is sticking out of one of the sleeves and pretending to be a Paralympic swimmer is still one of my favourites, especially when you do mongo noises to go with it.

I used to do that and then waggle the stump dementedly in my sister's face. I might do it again later.

I think it's funny that I didn't distinguish between the Paralympics and the Special Olympics until a couple of years ago.

what theres a difference?

Paralympics is for people who have physical impairments, e.g. missing an arm or whatever, and Special Olympics is for mongos.

Incidentally, did anyone see the big pile-up in the wheelchair race? I about choked on my tea when I saw it on the news.

And then shouting at everyone in the pub to be quiet when Detroit Rock City came on so I could hear the solo better? I'm so classy.
