[blindlaw] Pimp My Cane

[Sarah Clark]

Actually it would be pretty easy to fool a blind person -- they can't see 
what the person is doing and how well or poorly the person is pulling it 
off.  The more difficult thing is to fool a sighted person that is very 
accustomed to how a blind person operates, i.e. a sighted spouse of a blind 
person.  I have heard of at least a couple of instances of people doing 
this.
Personally I don't see the benefit, but clearly they are getting something 
out of it, in a defective sort of way.
