Tell me a joke!
- 16 May 07, 10:28 AM
Are you the sort of person who gets emails of jokes that have been sent to a list of people half a page long? I am. There was another one in the Crippled Monkey inbox this morning - some prize examples of disability humour. Or not. Depends on your take on jokes, I guess. So can you improve on these and give me something to send back that'll knock their socks off with laughing?
A man is walking down the street when he meets a friend who happens to have only one arm.
"What are you up to today?" he asks his friend.
"I'm going to change a lightbulb."
"Won't that be difficult with just one arm?"
"Shouldn't think so. I've got the receipt."
Did that tickle the necessary funny bone? Okay, I'll tell you another and then leave it to you to improve on these efforts:
An Englishman is showing two young American girls around London during their holiday. When they reach a Pelican crossing he presses the button, and after a few seconds the pedestrian signal makes the familiar "beep beep beep" sound.
"What's that for?" asks one of the girls.
"Oh, that's just to let blind people know that the lights have changed," replies the Englishman.
"Oh my GAWWWD!" she exclaims, obviously shocked. "In the States, we don't even let them drive!"
Crippled Monkey is having an aimless Wednesday, I'll admit. Send me your disability jokes! Now! Please! Funnier the better (but remember, this is the 91热爆 and a public website, so keep them clean)! Go on, you know you want to - stick a joke in the comments of this post!

Well obnviously disability isn't a laughing matter, but here goes.
Q: What goes one bonk two bonk three bonk four
A: A man with a wooden leg.
That was in the Crack-a-Joke book and taught me to be disablist from an early age. remember the Crack-A-Joke book? I remember kids reading it in the playground.
A man, whose level of drunkenness was bordering on the absurd, stood up to leave a bar and fell flat on his face.
"Maybe all I need is some fresh air," thought the man as he crawled outside.
He tried to stand up again, but fell face first into the mud.
"Screw it," he thought. "I'll just crawl home."
The next morning, his wife found him on the doorstep asleep.
"You went out drinking last night, didn't you?" she said.
"Uh, yes," he said sheepishly. "How did you know?"
"You left your wheelchair at the bar again."
A bloke is showing a Kazakhstan bloke around London and they come to a Pelican crossing. He presses the button and the pedestrian signal goes 'bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep....' 'Whats that for?' asked one of the girls. 'Oh thats just to let the blind know that the lights have changed' said the bloke. 'My Gaad' she said, really shocked, 'in Kazakhstan we don't even let them drive...'

My fave crip joke of all time was in a South Park episode.
Q: How many able-bodied people does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One.
I always remember this one from school.
An old woman decided one day that it was about time she got a husband so she put an add in the local paper.
Add read:
Husband Wanted
sixty to seventy years old, must not chase me, must not beet me and must be good in bed.
Weeks later the doorbell rang and a man was there in a wheelchair. The woman said "how can I marry you, You have no legs?" That means I can't chase you the man replied "but you have no arms" the woman said. So I cant beat you the man answered. Ok the woman said so are you any good in bed.
The man smiled and said
Well I rang the doorbell didnt I.
An old Irishman walks into a bar, hauls his bad leg over the stool, and asks for a whiskey. "Hey," he says, looking down the bar, "is that Jesus down there?" The bartender nods, so the Irishman orders Jesus one too.
An ailing Italian with a humpback walks in, shuffles up to the bar, and asks for a glass of Chianti. Noticing Jesus, the Italian orders Him a glass of Chianti too.
A redneck swaggers in and hollers, "Barkeep, set me up a cold one! Hey?is that God?s Boy down there?" The bartender nods, so the redneck orders Him a bottle of beer.
As Jesus gets up to leave, He touches the Irishman and says, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman jumps up and dances a jig.
Then Jesus touches the Italian and says, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Italian?s humpback straightens, and he does a flip.
Just then the redneck yells, "Don?t touch me! I?m drawing disability!"
I remember Jim davidson telling a ridiculous joke about a man with a rubber eye.
The gist was ...
A double decker bus came along. The woman standing in the queue next to him said: "it looks crowded, I wonder if there are any seats up top". So the man took his eye out, bounced it on the pavement .... and ...
What a rubbish joke. But the audience screamed with laughter. Screamed.
It's not even a joke but I think it's hilarious.
When people ask what exactly my suboccipital craniotomy/posterior fossa decompression for Chiari and Syringomyelia acommplished, I just look at them and say..
" Well, I used to be narrow minded"
Ok, so only Chiarians think that's funny.
OK, here goes...
What goes 99 bonk?
A centipeed with a wooden leg.
A man walks into a pub and takes off his parashoot. A man next to him notices he's blind and says. 'how do you know when to pull your parashoot cord?' The first man says, 'Easy. My guide dog's leed goes slack.'
A blind man walks into a pub and swings his guide dog around on the end of its leed. A man asks him what he's doing, and the blind man says, 'just looking around.'
You can tell its a Friday afternoon!

Dee felt like her old polio body had gotten totally out of shape
since the arthritis started, so her doctor suggested she join a
swimming club and start exercising ... Dee decided to take a
stretching-in-the-pool class for people with arthritis. How'd
it go? She said, "I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down,
and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my swimsuit on,
the class was over.

Taxiing down the tarmac, the jetliner abruptly stopped, turned
around and returned to the gate. After an hour long wait, it
finally took off.
A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What was
the problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a strange noise he heard in the
engine," she explained.
"Oh, and it took a while to fix it," said the passenger.
"Not exactly." replied the stewardess, "It just took us a bit
to find a deaf pilot."
Disabled patient: DOCTOR! I can't feel my legs!
Doctor: That's because I've amputated your arms!
