I unsuccessfully attempted to restrain laughter but couldn't hold back. 

Taking my 93 year old mother in law to the orthodontist today for a tooth extraction. She is a stroke victim and has great difficulty using her Walker with her near useless right leg functions. Driving up to the building front I notice both handicapped parking are occupied and neither vehicle has the correct placard displayed. Finding an open spot about 100' distant isn't bad for a healthy and fit person at all but for her after getting out of.the car, situated onto the Walker, and traipsing the distance about six minutes have transpired. I should also mention it is 82 degrees, sunny and clear with a stiff breeze from the west. The handicapped parking spaces are oriented in a north pointing direction. 

As we approach the entrance door but yet still on the entry walkway, a young man hurriedly blasts through the doors and goes to one of the parked cars in the handicapped space. Opening the left door he reaches for his cell phone charger but is a bit short on length. Letting go of the door and reaching further into the car, he starts to extract himself when a guest of wind came up blowing the door on it's closing path. However the door's travel was interrupted by the young man's skull being crunched between the A pillar, and door frame. 

It was right then I had to laugh.
