    Damn straight. The proper term is "cripple."

          I wonder how much they paid for that 'legal advice'.

              Yes, only CP patients. Most disabilities are properly slurred as "gimp," or perhaps "stubby."

                  The company said legal advice was sought...
                  That reminds me of a quote:

                    Cake!?

                    They had better make sure they also get a sugarless cake for the diabetics, and a fat-free one for the heifers (oops, gravitationally-challenged).

                        Given the subject, I want to file a complaint against Lonestar's entries in birthday threads.

                            As much as I find the whole workplace birthday acknowledgement routine tedious, I'd rather have it than a ban on it.
