I have a rant/comedy routine in which I attempt to describe to people the insanity of having to provide quote proof of blindness unquote in order to receive services, despite the fact that I have prosthetic eyes, but I hadn't heard before that, even if one is goddamn Horatio Nelson, the bureaucracy might keep insisting that you weren't really blind

I'm still trying to find documentation regarding the time a superior officer was giving Nelson a signal to disengage from battle, and Nelson held his telescope to his blind eye so he could later claim he didn't see anything. Now that I think on it, there's probably a reason blind people don't get told these stories.
