    It’s just a mobility assistance device.

    This meme is like laughing at the idea of wheelchair ramps because you think they’re for people who are wrapped up around the legs like mummies.

      Are they laughing at the device, or the promotional photo?

      Seriously, it looks like Sarah Palin really hit hard times with this one.

      Mate, I literally have four support rails in my bathroom alone and i’m still laughing at this. The butt (heh) isn’t the idea of assistive devices.

      Tore my e.spinalis on the one side - like, all of it - and was a wreck for weeeeeeks. Truly, the loo was the scariest place in the house.

      “I’m to young to need handles and bars everywhere,” I thought to myself. But, maybe I’m not.

      Those echo flex units are cheap by the half-dozen and can be set to only allow outgoing calls for help. Just saying.
