Humor has got me thru a lot of BS and crazy situations since I have been in a chair. After a few months I began to have fun with walkies with what I sometimes call gimp humor.

I know some people with disabilities disagree with making jokes about disabilities. Well you can't please everyone. Hell, lots of people don’t like other things I like, I don't worry about pleasing all those people. I can always find a few nuts like me.

I think walkies, AB’s, whatever you call them will be a lot more comfortable around us when they can laugh with us. Not at us, but with us. The main problem I see is there are not enough good gimp jokes out there.

I would like to hear your opinion on the idea of disability humor.

I will leave you with my favorite gimp joke.

What do you call a paraplegic prostitute?
A night crawler.

I didn’t say it was good. You got anything better?

      I am a standup comic with a mental illness, and in 1998 I hit by a drunk driver, and told I would never wal k again. I did walk again, after 6 months of partial paralysis on my left side. The mental illness was there before and after, and will never leaveting.

      I use humor as a tool to deal with life, and I am open to hearing gany jokes that you may have to share.

      I also deal with eating disorders, like, Have you ever noticed that anorexia, only happens to the skinny chicks? I tried to lose weight with bulimia, but it made me sick, I almost puked!

    Here's one (I am a crip; this was told to me by a blind guy, and every blind person I've ever told it to liked it) --Ann S.

    We're on a plane ready to take off, everyone in their seats, but the pilot hasn't come aboard. At last 2 men come up through the cabin. One is using a white cane, and the other has a guide dog. A buzz of questions--those can't be the pilots, can they? But they disappear into the control room. The flight attendants seem calm; it must be some kind of joke.

    The plane taxis out onto the runway, straightens out, begins to gather speed. The engines roar, it goes fast and faster, but it doesn't leave the ground. It's hurtling toward the end of the runway! the passengers scream in terror! ...and the plane lifts off, just clears the fence, and tilts up into the sky.

    In the cabin the passengers settle back in relief, but up in the cockpit one pilot grumbles to the other. "I don't know, Mac, one of these days they're not going to yell in time."

    You must have heard of the two sailors in a bar, one of whom has a wooden leg, a hook, and a patch on one eye. The other, once they’d had some rum, asked how he’d lost his leg, and was told how a shark had bitten it off. And what about his hand? That had been chopped off in a sabre battle, a pirate attack.
    “And what happened to your eye?”
    “Oh, that was a seagull crapping on me.”
    “Seagull shit put out your eye?”
    “It was right after I got the hook…”

    Now that I am done cooking the vegetables, what do I do with all these wheelchairs?

    Hire the handicapped, they are fun to watch!

    When I became a gimp, I was given a companion dog. I lived in an apartment building and across the hall from me lived a real ass!
    I heard him throw his gf against a wall calling her stupid etc... a really piece of work this one was..
    I took my companion out for a potty break and we met the jerk coming in the building. Her hair stood up on her back and she started growling at him. he said "Whats wrong with her??" I do not know? normally she loves the smell of assholes...... and we continued out of the building.
    They moved at the first of the month. God I love this animal. :D
