This is the second time this has happened to us.  The first time we got a handicapped-accessible room assigned to us was on our Vegas trip earlier this year.  They must confuse Brian&#8217;s mental retardation for a physical handicap or something.  <strong>Just kidding, baby! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what everyone else&#8217;s bathrooms looked like, but ours had a folding bench (which we never used because [a] we didn&#8217;t need it and [b] it looked gross; you never know whose bun buns have been on that thing) and bars along <em>all<\/em> the walls, behind the door, and even above the toilet.  I guess this way if you were physically-challenged in some way, you could support yourself.  I&#8217;m sure Brian had other ideas for the bars but, as for me, I found them particularly handy on those days when the ship rocked a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, our shower had this string that runs from the top of the shower all the way to the bottom. I wasn&#8217;t sure what it was so, one morning, I asked Brian what it was for.  Goof ball goes &#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; as he starts pulling on the string.  <\/p>\n<p>Almost immediately our stateroom phone rings.  I guess they were checking on us if we needed assistance of the I&#8217;ve-fallen-and-I-can&#8217;t-get-up nature.  Brian replied, &#8220;We are okay.  Thank you.&#8221;  Now we know what that string is for. LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it with us and handicapped-accessible rooms?
