The Man With No Arms

finlma

Its probably not very politically correct to talk about it here but the question needs to be asked. Me and the mates were chatting at the weekend about the dude around town with no arms. He always asks people to get money from his pocket and buy him a flaggin of cider and hang it from his stump in a plastic bag.

There are many conflicting stories about how he lost his arm but the one most mentioned is that they were taken off by a tiger when a circus visited Galway years ago.

Does anyone know the real story and has anyone ever had to buy him anything or even worse meet him in the toilet?

Martin lost his hands when he put his arm in to pet a Tiger. He was intoxicated at the time. It was night-time. If Martin had put his had through the cage 10 feet to the right or left of where he did; he might have had some chance but he put his hand through the bars at the exact same point where the tigers are fed every day. He is an alcoholic and is usually seen drinking out of a bottle of cider he buys in the cheap foodstore beside Argos. He doesn't always have pockets in his pants. He might have holes for pockets but thats all thats there; holes. Then he will ask a female to get his change out.

You seem to know a lot about our more "distinguished" members of Galway public, first Flash, then Knacker Dwarf, now no-armed guy!

Apparantly he was always a bit of a wanker, even before he lost his arms! So says me father anyway!

I'm what u call streetwise. 31 years in Galway City teaches ya a few things. I have met a few "distinguished" people in my days. Galway isn't that big and everybody has a story about themselves. If you spend a week up around the court house you will meet a few more. (been there on jurey duty by the way)

The courthouse is a great way to kill an hour if your bored... Stroll around inside until you find a room that looks interesting. In you go, sit down the back.. and watch a knacker get sent to prision

Don't get me wrong, im not a bum or anything

Just a friend of mine was in court before, so we went in for a look... Before we knew it there was another case (involved knackers) so we stayed for the laugh, before we knew it, 2 hours had passed!

An armless man walked into a bar which was empty except for the bartender.

He ordered a drink and when he was served, asked the bartender if he would get the money from his wallet in his pocket, since he has no arms. The bartender obliged him.

He then asked if the bartender would tip the glass to his lips. The bartender did this until the man finished his drink.

He then asked if the bartender would get a hanky from his pocket and wipe the foam from his lips. The bartender did it and commented, “It must be very difficult not to have arms and have to ask someone to do nearly everything for you?”

The man said, "Yes, it is a bit embarrassing at times. By the way, where is the restroom?"

The bartender quickly replied, "The closest one is in the gas station three blocks down the street."

Yeah I had to help him out with a bag for his bottle of cider before. I wonder what happened to the tiger/lion? Was it killed?

No, though i recall there was some nut writing into the advertiser going on that it had tasted human blood and had to be destroyed etc. Of course the fact that Tigers (yes it was a tiger not a lion) are an endangered species put an end to that sorta talk.

of course he's a deviant...Unless he has a really long tongue, the level of frustration he nurtures would kill a bison.

Chewbacca [14-12-2007]

...ironically, so would a Tiger...

Redhairedguy

Well said Chewie you old bean!

He probably gets a jam jar full of worms to sate his lust....

Plus then the worms get a nourishing meal.

SPLOOGE!!!!

as long as he stops someone in the street who not only has a tin opener, but will actually open his tin of worms.

Heeheehe.... starring Donal Ni Fhlatharta and Ronald Cumbent

A gripping tale of controversy and no armedness

I remember that guy.

I was walking down bohermore road he asked a mate of mine from Australia to get money from his pocket and buy him cigarettes at the filling station.

We had a chat afterwards and my mate asked "how do you think he wipes his arse".

He had a few interesting memories of Galway.

I know that guy...I dont think he's as bad as you all make out! helped with his smokes a few times

Redhairedguy

Look what I found, the no armed man about to be bludgeoned to death with a hammer

[Deleted User]

He probably hasnt gotten a bumbag or anything because this is morethanlikely the most sexual contact he has ever gotten!

SimpleSam06

Thats just nasty

Redhairedguy

I wonder is he related to the dude with the wee arms who plays the trumpet sometimes in town!

Saw him outside Corbett Court today and wondered in my tiny little brain... HOW THE HELL DOES HE PLAY THE TRUMPET???????

Hey MartinMalloy09.

Don't want to sound unsympathetic but bumping a three year old thread is probably the last thing I would do if you wanted people not to talk about your uncle.

I've never met or heard of him until now so I'm not going to pass any judgement, perhaps you can enlighten some of the crowd on here on whis actual story?

bty..I take it Martin isn't your actual name being his niece and all..Had to ask:P

This is exactly what I was thinking too. Ok, enough about Martin on request of what could be his niece.
