We had a guy with no legs who used to come into the Firehouse to use the bathroom. The guy had a Monkey and used to sell pencils.
he traveled around on a platform with wheels and used a chunk of rubber to push himself along. He used the firehouse because the guys would lift him off his cart so he could use the toilet.
We played a lot of tricks on the guy and once we set off a firecracker and scared the crap out of his monkey.His monkey had a big funeral when it died (Not from the firecracker, from old age.) and he retired.
He had a home in Fla. and his wife picked him up in a Cadillac after his days work.
Oh!! Did I mention he also ran numbers.
Yep
