One of his nurses e-mailed wintermute2_0 a picture which he posted on January 27, 2005 at site, http://www.the19thfloor.net/archives/2005_01.html. It shows a sign which serves as a warning for persons in wheelchairs situated in a park or zoo lagoon down below a descending bridge, it seems. It indicates that lagoon has crocodiles in it and that persons in wheelchairs must take care not to go at racing speed down bridge. The consequence suggested that a crocodile may be waiting for them to eat them. I smiled a rather silly smile after looking at sign. Don’t get me wrong, I perfectly understand sign, and when I see such on certain places, I wouldn’t have reacted like I did just now. But a question really popped out of nowhere in recesses of my mind – do alligators consider persons in wheelchair preferable to swallow rather than non-disabled ones? It might be because when persons in wheelchair fall into water and into their waiting mouths, they’re easy to gobble up because of their helplessness? So…there’s a little grain of possibility that alligators can now think enough to prefer who they want to eat, huh? Tsk…tsk…tsk… To normal persons like us, sign might not have that much impact. But to those with disabilities and especially wheelchair-bound ones, they really can be quite muddled over sign. They would even think, as wintermute2_0 has thought – “is sign really intended as a warning or a suggestion?”
