Ooh. I'm going to start saying, "like playing footsie with a guy/gal with a wooden leg."

Example:

"How did the meeting go?"

"Ugh, it was like playing footsie with a gal with a wooden leg."

"Keep at it, sport."

I confess I giggled when I read this. Not sure how the crip community would respond. I guess if they are inclined towards giggling, they would. My beloved friend Doug spent all of his adult life in a wheel chair after a car accident left him a paraplegic. I used to stroke his leg all the time. Doug's the guy who said relationships are like car crashes in my blog here. Maybe if he knew I'd been stroking his leg all that time, he would have felt differently.

Haha, that's great! I'd hope it will be taken well. We'll see, I might have something more to contribute to this thread in the event it doesn't.
