All applicants please apply in person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, her doorbell rang. She opened the door and found a <strong>gray-haired gentleman in a wheelchair\u2014without arms or legs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shocked, she exclaimed: \u201cYou\u2019re serious?
