PAD Pay Dirt!

Some times you have days where you want to beat your head open to get a idea out. Other days the magic just falls in your lap.

This image is not artistic, well composed or even that good. But what it is is a magic moment of non-stop giggles for me ALL Day long since taking this picture. I have come back to my computer to laugh at this all day long!

Ok here is what you are looking at. You know the Scooter Store? http://www.thescooterstore.com/our_scooters/scooterHUB.asp?section=products well they sell scooter style wheelchairs for folks to get around.

Well I don't think they ever intended you to steal a grocery store cart, cut it and paint it to make it look like a "add on" to your medicare covered scooter and drag your ol lady down the street in it as a pseudo "side cart".

Check out the lady in the maroon outfit. Her "chair" is really a shopping cart from like Wal-Mart or where ever. They have cut it up to make it a seat, added a hitch to the scooter, for her to ride in behind her husbands scooter.

If you look real close you can even see that traditional grocery cart under carriage where you normally place large things like dog food, or other bulk items like your ol ball and chain.

God I can't stop laughing that I saw this cruzin down the street in Pigeon Fordge, a outlet mall CITY at the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Am I bad for finding this SO FUNNY!!!???

Sadly enough is my story. I stalked these good folks for ten minutes to get these crummy shots of it.

Here are two more. They made me laugh. Here http://www.pbase.com/lundy/image/40783672 and here http://www.pbase.com/lundy/image/40782883

That is too funny! It's pretty ingenious as well. Kinda the modern version of dragging your woman back to the cave by her hair ;-)
