With all this whining, I can't imagine what some would say about the local big-box store with a "pregnant women or with infants" reserved parking spot.
Mind, I wonder why men with infants can't use it... :-)

My mind boggles whenever I am confronted with someone who is jealous of the handicapped because they get the best parking spaces.
Sheesh.
OTOH:
handicapped spot
so vandalism is ok, including the possible cost of an expensive paint job replacement?
think he needs a handicapped spot?
Ah Well.

Things aren't always as they appear.
Where did I 'begrudge' anybody?
You need to lighten up, Dougie! lol
I also think its a waste of money to put a Braille alphabet at drive-up windows at the bank. But, hey...that's just me.

But I'm gonna try to find the original. A lot of the stuff on his site doesn't come up in my browser...or he printed it wrong.

And I always felt sorry for Captain Hook!! REALLY!!! lol
So I should become some poor chick's sex slave? If I were going to do that, I might as well just stay with SWMBO.
Yeah, me too. In spite of the associated text that seems to indicate that it's not really a hoax, I still don't believe it.
BITE YOUR TOUNGUE!!!!
I attend many outdoor policy meetings as the rep of a mountain biking group and this has come up on state and national levels.
There have been serious discussions to _pave_ trails to remote, wilderness outposts, so that they could be accessed by folks in wheelchairs, and others who cannot hike or mountain bike to the location.
This is _not_ a joke. (I wish it was) It was told directly to me, face to face, by a big wig in the NPS Rivers and Trails program.
Imagine the Appalachian Trail, paved...

OK
Yes it is. A bad one.
No.

Proper etiquette...
Whenever you use an acronym for the first time within a document, its proper etiquette to first write out the entire phrase...and then put the acronym in parentheses next to the phase. From that point on, only the acronym need be written.
For example...
law enforcement officer (LEO)
With any subsequent document (newsgroup post) however, the above procedure should again be followed.
Following such a procedure makes it easy to create your own acronyms for long phrases that may be unique...and only pertinent...to your particular document.
Like Unisaw, I'd never heard of LEO before...nor TLA. So I thank him for his inquiry...and for your answer.
And, of course...acronyms and abbreviations are different matters.
Hope ya'll have a nice week...

You really, really _need_ to work harder on your reading comprehension there, Charlie. Nowhere did I recommend, endorse, or condone vandalism.

Barry Burke responds:
Yeah, but the same story, or onevery similar to it, has been making the rounds for something over 15 years. The one I heard involved paving all the Federal park trails, or many of them. I first recall hearing it in some sort of discussion of the idiocy of government minions...it was the same meeting where I heard the early '70s proposal to require seat belts on motorcycles repeated.

Another weird thought...
What if all the ADA spots are forced to meet OSHA standards?! lol
