The Outsiders- Off Road Wheelchairs

 

Like a muscle car or a New York City *hero, off road and all terrain wheelchairs and carts are the bad boys of their worlds.

Here is a look at a few of these mean machines.

 
 
Large Print DISCLAIMER
  • I will not be held responsible for creating a rush on the offices of Medicare, Medicaid, insurers or any other sordid funding entities by those wishing to get one of these wheelchairs funded (no chance anyway).
  • I can not be held liable for injuries to individuals who slip in the pool of slimy saliva that their lascivious drooling may create while viewing the above images.
  • I can not be held liable for the suffering and/or embarrassment that you or your family may experience after being reduced to poverty by spending your family fortune on one of these machines.
  • Wheelchair Diffusion endorses none of theses products. We do endorse getting out of the house for those who have the desire. That’s with or without one of these mean machines.
 
*hero
Please note the use of the word "hero" when speaking of that insanely tasty New York City creation. First tossed together in the late 19th century by NYC Italian working stiffs who wanted to cover giant hungers created by hard work for long hours.
 
The hero is traditionally at least two Italian meats and provolone cheese on a small or half loaf of crusty Italian bread with roasted peppers, vinegar, olive oil, and lettuce. It is a pork-based sandwich; popular meat choices include ham, prosciutto, pepperoni, capicola, mortadella and salami.
 

You fine folks may be calling this envy of the civilized world by such names as; heroes, subs, grinders, hoagies, submarine sandwiches or Po’ boys. If in fact you use any of these misnomers, then you are wrong in doing so. No need to add the word sandwich at the end. It speaks for itself and needs no trailer.

If you plan to visit New York City, here’s a sure fired way to get a free hero. Announce the following in a crowded area- “Ahhm gonna go gedda hero.” Pronounce the words just as written or you may not be understood. It’s a done deal that someone will respond with- "Bring one back for me and I’ll buy." That’s an old NYC custom that has been around even longer than the hero. It’s called, “You fly and I’ll buy”.

Enjoy the eye candy and the hero.
