My 32 year old cousin can't fully use his arms or his legs since he was born, but that has never disabled him from doing whatever he wants. He even played soccer(don't ask me how, but he used to) a few times when he was younger. Did I mention that he has multiple girlfriends at the same time and he lines them up for dates?like what other kind of strange things?
