helpful larry?

my mailman buddy Larry was making a delivery to a nursing home yesterday when he saw a person in a wheelchair heading full tilt for a busy road. Kicking into "hero" mode, he stopped the resident before they got into traffic. he thought he did a good deed, but then figured out that the person was trying to escape. what he really did was wreck their shot at freedom. i guess the wheelchair has an alarm on it that gets set off when they bust a move for the exit. staff people were making a b-line for the resident like he was an escaped convict. hopefully by the time i'm in a nursing home the wheelchairs will be pimped out and i'll be able to leave my well-meaning minders in the dust.
