I laughed up a lung

[sereneorange]

My sister works for DARS, formerly known as TRC. If you don't know what those are, fine, just know she works with people with various disabilities.
She was telling me about this woman that works at Goodwill Industries who has no arms. She really likes this woman. The woman's job at G.I. is receptionist. She answers phones.
I have to ask.
"How does she push the buttons?"
My sister smirks and apes the woman answering the phone with her feet.
I am sent into a fit of giggles.
She then says,"You should see her makeup."
I almost pass out I am laughing so hard.
She chides me, while laughing, because she likes the woman.

Why, oh why, would she tell me this if she didn't want me to get the mental picture and laugh myself stupid.

I've once seen a guy on TV who had no arms but played a guitar with his feet. That was really amazing. And you couldn't hear any difference to normal guitar-playing. I really have respect for those people. But I wonder how it's possible that you're born without arms.

I read something the other day about a mouse that you can use with your feet. It's for people who lack hands or whose hands are non-functional. We've got a lab on-campus entirely devoted to developing stuff like this.

If they can make a mouse you can use with your feet, I guess they can make a phone too.
