Golf Handle?

At school there is an area to get Subway and sometimes I go there and get a sandwich. So one time I was there. When I was paying for my food I leaned my cane against the counter in order to get my stuff. For those of you who don’t know the handle of a cane is very similar to the handle of a golf club. Because of that the cashier for a moment forgot that I had a cane and wondered why I randomly had a golf club with me, then remembered. It was rather amusing when she told me.

Why I don’t trust elevators

This is a more silly thing that happened to me once. Well it happened to a good friend of mine, but I was actually the only other person there ate the time. So we were at a conference for visually impaired and blind people of New Jersey with a program we were in. We were at the hotel we all were staying at going to go to supper. We’d gotten to the elevator earlier than the others (I can’t remember why we were so early actually). So we went into the elevator, but were going to hold the door open. Still his cane got stuck in the gap between where the door closes. He tried to pull it back out, but it slipped out of his hand. Perhaps it was because his tip was worn down, but somehow the cane managed to slide through the hole and fall down the elevator. We stood there in stunned silence for a while listening as the cane clattered down the shaft. Needless to say that cne wasn’t recovered. We laughed about it afterwards. I would have lent him my cane, but I was rushing and forgot it at home. Still it’s an interesting moment and I always think of it when I go into an elevator.
