To be differently-abled is surely not easy same as when we are injured or sick. It takes courage to face every day with a positive mindset.
That’s why these 56 people in this slideshow are truly brave. Despite their situation, they don’t stop themselves from having fun and showing off their sense of humor. Their photos are sure to make you smile and laugh along with them.
Here are some of them.
1. Bionic limb swap
They make quite the mismatched pair!
2. It’s all about the bacon
Nevertheless, there can be serious symptoms associated with severe autism. But losing your love of bacon doesn’t appear to be one of them.
3. Kickass costume
The crocodile is a nice touch too.
4. The gang’s all here
Zoinks!
5. School spirit
Now THAT’S a school-wide sense of humor.
6. Land shark
His amputation took place just a few months prior, but he quickly found a way to cope.
7. Double duty
But he’s adjusting to life with a prosthetic pretty well – at least when he goes out for a drink.
8. Crip ship
But you can still laugh at this vanity plate.
9. South Parking
Could you keep yourself from laughing if you saw this license plate while on the road?
10. Carrying a spare
We just want to know if she has an extra leg just for wearing heels!
11. Cancer is evil
Her costume is absolutely perfect.
12. ‘Tis the season
While it’s really never polite to take photos of strangers, she cropped out everything else.
13. What are you lookin’ at?
Sure, people can’t help but look when they see a person who appears different, but it’s ok to call them out on it as well.
14. Fair warning
This lovely sticker should clear up any confusion.
15. His “better half”
This guy found his new “girlfriend” at the mall and decided they just “completed” each other.
16. Pre-chemo shenanigans
Too bad it’s just Bud Light – but to each their own.
17. Specific instructions
We just hope they weren’t laughing too hard during the procedure!
18. Hair day becomes head day
What a bedazzled beauty!
19. Cancer sucks
Cancer sure does suck.
20. Leggo my…leg. Oh.
While we doubt it improved his mobility, we admire the creativity.
21. Trick or treat
We just hope this guy bought the sign. That’s an amazing trick to play on Halloween.
22. Lieutenant Dan reporting for duty
This hilarious guy can’t.
23. Peg leg
Unless they involve cavorting with Johnny Depp.
24. They’re fake and they’re fabulous
A lot funnier than a double mastectomy, that’s for sure.
But this cancer survivor is still finding a reason to smile.
25. T-rexin’ and flexin’
But he managed to find his spirit animal in the T-rex, making this sweater fit (the situation, at least) perfectly.
26. But I’m happy!
But at least he’s got the funniest t-shirt around.
27. OMG, my leg!
This is from an April Fool’s Day joke in a local park.
And we just wish we could have seen the looks on the faces of bystanders.
28. Jimmy!
So it wasn’t any surprise that some people failed to find their sense of humor when seeing this guy’s Jimmy costume.
But too bad, because he even did Jimmy impressions all night from behind the mask. It’s not like he was faking the handicap.
29. It makes us want to laugh and cry
One commenter summed up the reactions to this photo perfectly, saying: “I love how accurate this is that everyone, no matter the Country, is all, ‘Yep.'”
30. Eerie costume
And she absolutely nailed it!
31. This little piggy
And what better way to honor its loss than with a hilarious tattoo?
32. It’s not working!
What’s it supposed to restore if not hands? Those grow back, right?
33. It’s all about perspective
The look on this guy’s face is priceless while he wears this shirt.
34. Vacation tan
We just hope the other one matches!
35. Oops
While injuries are never funny, it’s ok to find humor in people’s way of coping with them (so long as they’re meant to amuse).
36. The cost of college
While this grad said she wasn’t neessarily a big fan of decorated caps, she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make the joke.
37. Moneymaker
Everyone wants to know the story, so why not make them pay for the trouble of having to repeat it?
38. Get it right. No, left!
Sadly, people have had the incorrect limb amputated by surgeons in the past.
No doubt this patient had heard a story or two and wanted to not only give his doctors a giggle but ensure that they knew which was which.
That post-op t-shirt is comedy gold as well.
39. Long story short
Now at least they have a reason to smile.
40. Snow angel
This guy is doing just fine without them.
41. Boob jokes
Just don’t think you can steal third.
42. IHOP
How much do you want to bet there’s a handicapped license plate that reads IHOP in every state?
43. What arrrrr you looking at?
Honestly, the pirate jokes never get old as long as the amputee is the one making them.
44. Honk at will
This driver is letting everyone around them know that they’re impervious to their impatient honking.
45. Hospital chic
This patient is having a fashion moment with the universally unflattering hospital gown.
46. Goals
The OP reassured everyone that his dad was just joking around when he filled out his daily goal.
47. Swipe right
Check out her profession and “stats.”
48. Operation: humor
Sadly, the surgeon hadn’t watched enough Spongebob Squarepants to get the joke. (And if you haven’t either, here’s why it’s funny.)
49. Third leg
This man might have lost his legs to diabetes but he didn’t lose his slightly inappropriate sense of humor.
50. Twinning
They couldn’t help but share the photo she posted online comparing herself to a Q-tip that she captioned “TWINS!”
51. Way ahead of you
He will have to wait for those cheese fries though.
52. Oh snap
He may have snapped a bone, but we hope he refrains from snapping his fingers now that he has all the stones.
53. Say hello to Sir Nubly
It’s got to be a relief to know your kid can still maintain a sense of humor after going through an amputation.
54. Permanent ink
Stumpy actually looks pretty cool if you ask us.
55. Fingers crossed
We’ll keep our fingers crossed too. We just hope she’s not relying on the product from slide #32.
56. Throne on wheels
This didn’t just make us smile, we’re also in awe of how badass the whole setup is!
You see? The best that anyone can do in life is to take ownership of it. Life truly is what you make it and while we can’t control the cards we are dealt in this life, we can certainly control how we choose to play them. And these people are definitely playing to win. What could be more inspiring than that?
