The user of a wheelchair needs to decide for him or herself whether or not
they are going to in fact have fun. There will be many people not in
wheelchairs who will try to help make this decision for the user. They
will try to cheer the user up. The user will be tempted to punch the
person not in a wheelchair in the face a few times. This may make the user
feel better for a brief period of time, but in the end it really doesn't do
much good, and the user insures a high probability chance of being hit in
the face by the person not in the wheelchair. I mean let's face it, they
can run faster than the user can.
So sooner or later, the decision is entirely up to the user in the
wheelchair. To those who choose not to have fun, this entire entry really
doesn't apply. Chances are the mere fact that an entry about wheelchairs
was included in Project Galactic Guide offended them, and they have not
read this far, so they made that choice and will spend the rest of their
life punching people not in wheelchairs if they get too close and get stuck
in doorways. There is a responsibility to attend to the first most
important point about being in a wheelchair. Those who usurp that
responsibility fail to take advantage of the opportunity. They are also no
fun at parties unless you get them really drunk.
Those who do accept the responsibility and decide to have fun then get to
take the next step towards pursuing the goal of the first most important
point about being in a wheelchair: how to go about having fun while
confined to one.
Fortunately, we here at Project Galactic Guide Off-Central have provided
the list below. There are no doubt other ways to have fun in a wheelchair,
but this is a sampling to get one started. One does not have to be confined
to a wheelchair in order to try these out. One does however have to
physically be in a wheelchair, or else it's just cheating.
Here is an incomplete list of ways to have fun in a wheelchair:
1) Play basketball.
2) Go to the top of a hill and... let go.
3) Get all the good parking spaces.
4) Find a building where it is impossible for you to enter while
confined to a wheelchair, and notify the authorities.
5) Get two or more buddies in wheelchairs and have races down
public walkways. Talk passers-by into placing bets.
6) Have sex!!!
7) Do wheelies!
8) Go around calling those poor souls who have to travel from
one place to another utilizing their lower limbs "gimps".
9) Operate an Ultralite / Go hang-gliding.
10) Run over people.
11) Come up with new ways to have fun in a wheelchair which are
not on this list.
