PostSubject: What's the Suicide Knob For?   Tue Feb 03, 2009 5:34 pm

Get off work, go home, get the wife and head to Lowe's. On the way home, there's a lady in her mid-60's, hair all done-up, nice make up, well-dressed, sitting in a beautiful caddy at one of the stoplights next to us. This is where it gets funny. She has a handicapped sign hangin' from the mirror and a suicide knob bolted to the steering wheel. Her cell phone, which she is talking on, is chained to her left hand and has a loop running from that chain to the strap for her eyeglasses so the phone can't fall. Her dress is hiked up and a quart of Baskin Robbins ice cream is open between her legs, and she's scoopin' ice cream into her mouth with a spoon in her right hand at the rate of about every other word. After takin' this in, I pull out my phone. Mrs. WYite, who's drivin', asks what I'm doin'. I say, "I'm gonna get a video, 'cuz ain't nobody gonna believe this". Then the light turns green. The lady starts off steering with her knobby knees, and Mrs. WYite hits the gas before I can get my pic. I said, "Hey.." to which Mrs. WYite replies, "Ivan Jr.!", the name she reserves for when she thinks I'm doing sometin' particularly goofy (usually she calls me by my nickname, J.R.). I look back and Miss Daisy is swervin' down the street, talkin' on the phone and shovelin' ice cream in. So I get home, start thinkin' about this, which all seems kinda unreal now, and I just had a question come to mind which really is most impertinenet to the situation...if she steers with her knees, what's the suicide knob for?

Some states only allow handicapped folks to get suicide knobs. From what my grandfather told me, they used to be pretty popular before power steering.

I somehow don't see her racing much, but I had one on the rally beetle. One of my friends put it on as a joke originally, but it was kinda fun. Like the racing equivalent of chocking a shotgun. You feel like a bad ass, but your accuracy sucks. Wink

lol...great story, WYite.

I did once see a woman with a cup of coffee and a cigarette in one hand and a cell phone in the other hand. I can only assume she was steering with her knees.
