Maybe a trail of diahrea leading to the toilets.

I've run a business here for over nine years, have two handicapped spots and a ramp that maybe one truly handicapped person a month uses, and countless trailer trash with granny's placard use.

No blind people yet...

It should be illegal to put candy out as well unless it's sugar-free, someone could be a diabetic.

Fact of the matter is except for the rare blind person wandering around super-cities like New York most are not driving themselves to shops, so these "all-encompassing" laws are nothing more than a financial burdon on businesses.

How would you like it if you went to replace your toilet and found you had to rebuild your entire bathroom to handicapped specs? This will only run you around $20k a bathroom, assuming you don't have to knock out any load bearing walls.

It's not unreasonable to not design things for .2% of the population, look how many things are'nt designed for lefties...

BINGO!!!
