The Ramp That Ends in the Pool

Welcome to Life in a Chair. I'm Grok, here with our Guest, a power-chair user. You've got another Vegas story. What is it?

Guest

I wanted to get a lawyer and go around suing Vegas casinos, but I never did. It would've been great, though.

Grok

What made you want to?

Guest

When I was in my manual chair, there were some ramps you come down that are too steep, and they go right out into the pool. If you don't grab yourself, you're gonna fly right off the edge into the pool.

Grok

That sounds like a real problem.

Guest

And then you'd be swimming. Which is fine, because I can swim. I can swim on my back and flip over and everything.

Grok

So the ramps weren't all just too steep?

Guest

Some of them are in the wrong locations, and you can come down and slam right into the pool. Or they got ramps that are way too big. I don't know. I thought I'd just go around suing people.

Grok

But you never did. What would've happened if you had?

Guest

Every business would know my name and be shivering in their bones. And there's something coming.
