I switched on Fair City the other night to see a guy with two small arms and I laughed, totally inappropriate and I felt guilty after it

But it got me thinking, how bad is Irish acting talent if they had to get a deformed English actor for an Irish soap

Unless his disorder was part of a storyline.

This is the guy and I am sorry for laughing, not sure what came over me

So OP, what colour was this, um... "coloured guy"?

Did he have a grey tint or a hint of blue?

Are you sure he wasn't black?

I laughed during 'My left foot'
A lot ...

Boscoirl · 22-02-2012, 20:11

On a school tour many years ago to some factory in Shannon(exciting I know, but anything to get out of class) The woman giving the tour said they take a "hands on approach" to something didn't catch the rest of the sentence, it took all my efforts not to burst out laughing at her, I have no idea why I found this funny but I did

I also giggled during the fight scene at the end of Gangs of New York, where everything was blowing up around them, my friends thought it sounded evil and sadistic.

Whats black, has wheels and sits at the top of the stairs?

Spoiler: Stephen Hawking after a house fire

I once took a photo of a guy in a wheelchair and made one of those "they see me rollin" pictures out of it.

Handicapped as I was, I was of no help to myself in getting out and in the end it took 4 lads and about 10 minutes to haul me out

So there I am face down in the hole, sniggering to be clearly heard above me......People had to go home and change their underwear after that funeral!!

Why did Sally fall off the swing?

Spoiler: Because she had no arms

Why couldn't Sally get back up?

Spoiler: Because she had no legs

Why didn't anyone help Sally?

Spoiler: Because she had no friends

That attention to detail is what I need in order to get a proper reaction from that story. As the rule goes here, if he was black... I'm not allowed to laugh.

A lump of stone falling on a girls head. No one noticed thankfully.

I like a good holocaust joke.

Next door neighbour was arguing with her daughter about 2 weeks ago. Mother was sitting in drivers seat of car yelling "will you hurry up and get into the the fookin car", daughter rushs and jumps in and with that mammy tears off and out flys her daughter, the poor youngone did'nt even have time to close her door and belt up

.

I would'nt have laughed so hard if it was a child but she was in her late teens. Priceless
