As a Texan, I can't say I've ever really been too fond of our local 'good ole boys'. Don't get me wrong, I understand most officers are just trying to do their job. It's just that when they get it wrong, they can sometimes really get it impossibly, massively, monumentally wrong:

Where does the phrase "cakewalk" come from? It doesn't even make sense when you think about it.

I never use that word, really. But I thought it would be interesting irony in this case of a man in a wheelchair.


1. Something easily accomplished: 'Winning the race was a cakewalk for her'.
2. A 19th-century public entertainment among African Americans in which walkers performing the most accomplished or amusing steps won cakes as prizes.

In my head it's formed from a melding of the two phrases 'a piece of cake' and 'a walk in the park'. A cakewalk being even easier than the sum of its parts.
