Um, at least he didn't ask a cripple to stand up and be recognized!  
That reminds me of a kid that works under me. He has palsy or something like that. Another associate was looking at free doughnuts they put out for us and asked me if I thought they were OK. I saw the kid with palsy eating one and asked him if they tasted good. He said to me without skipping a beat,"They taste OK but look what they did to me." I about fell over laughing. He is a good kid and makes me laugh a lot.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
