Unstoppable sex drive and charity shops

It is, of course, a serious story. An article in today's Guardian on a man (Mr Stephen Tame) whose life has been made a misery after injuries sustained when he fell from a gantry while working in a warehouse. Apparently his sex drive has become unstoppable (titter ye not) since the injury and he's been awarded £3.166m in damages for the damage the accident has done to his life. So far, so tabloid-y but, at the end of the article, it reports that Mr Tame still suffers from a range of disabilities:

...including tunnel vision, a difficulty in tolerating noise, weakness on his left side, slurred speech, fatigue and poor concentration and memory.

The next and concluding sentence of the article then says:

He helps at a charity shop three days a week.

For some reason I found this funny....thoughts which may be attributable to the wicked impulse which left me to consider the tough recruitment policy which must be in place for Mr Tame to be an asset to the charity organisation in question.
