"The other day I got stopped by a cop for being drunk," he said. "I said, 'I'm not drunk; I've got cerebral palsy.' The cop says, 'That's an awfully big word for a drunk guy.' "

Traveling with a disability nearly always has its edge of unpredicatbility and adventure. Comedian Josh Blue tweaks that truth to get a laugh -- and maybe tells a truer story than most. It seems he's had the gift of blarney ever since he was a wee one:
At age 7, he came home from school one day while his mother was sipping tea with a friend."How was school?" the friend asked.
"Didn't go," the little boy said.
"What?" his mother said. "I put you on the bus."
Josh told a story of going to the park with friends, more disabled than he.
"Meet any chicks?" his mother's friend asked.
"No, but we saw some ducks," he said.
The two women doubled over with laughter at this fantasy trip to the park.
