Last night on TV, there was a program on called 'I'm Spazticus'
I don't really understand where it was going because it was all about comedy sketches with disabled people including spina bifida, dwarfism, impaired motor neuron diseases etc. The actors in the sketches were people with these problems, making people laugh and sort-of laughing at themselves at the same time.

So if you don't measure up to that score by the end of qualifying, then you haven't 'made the cut'
