A Little Story About Ethel

Ethel is a bit of a demon in her wheelchair and  loves to charge around the nursing home, taking  corners on one wheel and getting up to maximum speed  on the long corridors.

Because the poor woman is a  sandwich short of a picnic, the other residents  tolerate her, and some actually join in.

One day, Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a  door opened and a man stepped out with his arms  outstretched. "STOP!" he said in a firm voice. "Have  you got a license for driving that thing?" Ethel   fishes in her handbag, on her lap, and pulls out a  Kit-Kat wrapper which she held up to him. "OK" he  said, and she went on her way. Taking the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel,  another man stepped out in front of her and shouted   "STOP! have you got a valid license sticker for your  vehicle mad-dame?" Ethel dug into her handbag again  and pulled out a beer mat which she held up to him  and he allowed her to carry on.

Going down the final corridor before the front  door, a third man stepped out in front of her. This  one was start naked and was holding a sizable  erection in his hand. "OH NO", said Ethel, "Not the   breathalizer again!"
