Seems Mickey caught a break ending up in a scooter. His life revolves around grinding penny slots and frequenting rest stop glory holes. I don’t see any disadvantage for him to be already seated.
When him and the 80 year old chain-smoking lady with blue hair both spot a machine, he can beat her to it. When he rolls into a rest stop bathroom, being at crotch level all the time has likely saved him, and Medicare, from springing for a double knee replacement surgery after a lifetime of life on his knees.
Silver linings folks.
