For some reason, I often come upon abandoned wheelchairs or discarded crutches.
I find them discarded in random places, and often dirty and trashy (like the above photo). While I find these scenes a bit ugly, I also find them absolutely beautiful. They are, after all, remnants of a wonderful miracle that has taken place.
“A miracle?!” you ask?
Think about it. One minute you are disabled and confined to life in a wheelchair. Seconds later, a miracle just happens out of nowhere and you can suddenly walk.
You’re not going to think about what to do with your weelchair or crutches. You’re going to just toss them aside, leaving them behind as you jump up and run down the street screaming “HOLY SHIT! I CAN WALK! IT’S A MIRACLE!!!! A MIRACLE!!!!
Why else would you find dirty cruches and wheelchairs just abandoned in random places?
It’s for this reason I point to these abandoned items and say, “Look. Another miracle.”
To the previous owners of these weelchairs and crutches - I’m happy you have been blessed with a miracle and no longer suffer from your disability. But please, take care to pick up after yourself and dispose of your weelchair or crutches in a resonable manner. While it took a miracle for you to walk - it shouldn’t take a miracle for you to be a bit considerate of other people and pick up after yourself.

You know, they’re probably dead.
Dude, I miss working with your twisted ass. That is funny.
Thank you for this PSA. I think it should be broadcasted on New York One; just to get the word out.
Honestly…I will look at that “disabled” begger a little more closely now.
When are you performing improv again? Jon and I would love to see you!!!!!!
