I was looking through my archive and I realized that it's been more than six months since my original "funny wheelchair signs" post. I'm going to fix that now. Again, these are in no particular order.

 

1. Maybe this sign means it's OK for Aaron Fotheringham to practice there?

2. Well, at least they saved a spot. But isn't everybody "differently abled"? I'm bad at some things that other people are good at, and good at some things that other people are bad at. Precision of language is important here.

3. It's always good to have warning that doors are heavy.

4. What if these aren't flames, but speed stripes because the wheelchair guy is going really really fast?

5. It really is true: people with disabilities can do anything.

6. Either this is a depiction of the world's strangest tattoo, or somebody fails at communicating in pictures.

7. Oh, look, it's another French "If you take my parking space, also take my disability" sign! This one uses the informal "tu" instead of the formal "vous," so it's a nice, chatty sign.

If you take my place, also take my disability.

8. I saw this sign in London, but the caption was "Elderly People" instead of "Disabled People."

9. In which Wheelchair Guy learns to use tools.

10. Redundant sign is redundant, but very cool-looking.

Gionta signed after the Gomez trade. Montreal's acquisition of Gomez drew considerable attention and criticism across various news sources largely because of his lack of production since signing his contract, one of the longest and highest in the NHL. With the Canadiens, Gomez wore the number 91 for the 2009-2010 season (reverse 19) as his former two numbers are retired by the Montreal Canadiens organization (Number 19 of Larry Robinson and the number 23 of Bob Gainey). For the start of the 2010-11 NHL hockey season, Gomez decided to switch his number from 91 to 11 (previously worn by long-time Habs captain Saku Koivu<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    I'm going to have to show the French one to my wife so she can confirm the translation. Hilarious. However, when it comes to art, redundant is never redundant enough. Keep us at SportAid posted on your discoveries, and look to us for all your wheelchair needs.
