My kind of disability

It's a Christmas miracle

Who among us has not wished to receive disability checks without the inconvenience of being actually disabled? It’s the American dream. An Irish one too.

Kamila Grabska, 36, had been collecting disability checks since a 2017 traffic accident in County Clare. She said the injury left her unable to work, or sometimes even get out of bed. She sued an insurance company for back pay, the whole amount coming to around $800 grand. 

Then surfaced this picture of Ms. Grabska winning the 2018 Irish Christmas Tree Throwing Championship. Oops. 

I like the judge’s opinion as he tossed out the claim. You can practically hear an amiable Irish lilt in his words:  

“It is a very large, natural Christmas tree and it is being thrown by her in a very agile movement. I’m afraid I cannot but conclude the claims were entirely exaggerated.”

Sorry, Kamila, but at least you can keep the trophy.

Not sure why it took so long for the photograph to surface. And I really don’t know why ESPN+ does not carry the Irish Christmas Tree Throwing Championship.
