Ever since he was a little boy, Bart Hickey has always loved cars - so it's only natural that he became a mechanic. In fact, he has his own car shop, called Bart's Auto and Towing or B.A.T. The name is very apt, because Bart is blind as a bat since birth.
When someone tells you that something's impossible or you simply cannot do it, just think of this post:
I protest your ignorance and willingness to fire of at innocence. I assure you no bats were harmed in the writing of that paragraph. In fact, unless your rehabilitation program includes teaching them to read and write English, they're not even worried about it.
Should I stop saying "Dumb as a mud fence" to end the suffering of mud fences every where? I think you're as worthless as a white crayon. Nice career choice by the way, I bet you've been itching at the chance to let everyone know your profession in a forceful way.
Great story. I'd let this guy work on my car any day.
It's amazing how people will pick out the smallest "mistakes" of anything and gnaw on it for hours rather than look at the whole picture/story and digest what the important messages are.
Who cares if his brother called his company BAT because he thinks bats are blind. The more important message is that there is a man that was blind from birth, had a passion, and followed his passion regardless of of the obvious obstacles.
Kudos on your job though, as they say, "Do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life." just lighten up a little. There are far better ways to get your point across. I for one truly thought bats were of poor sight. So I did take something from your post.
