The only difference it makes, Bruce, is that you are no longer a nameless coward. You are someone who I can respect and can have a sensible conversation with, I hope, so you do warrant a longer answer.

Yes, I would tell these jokes in front of folks who have lost their limbs and have done so in just the same way that people of varying abilities have told short, fat, bald and Polish jokes in front of me. No skin off my nose. I could say they are quite 'armless but I had better not...

They are jokes, just that. Not 'jokes' with any hidden agenda. Not veiled insults. I was told by a young man of my aquaintance with Cerebal Palsy, sadly passed away now, that he found it very patronising that people felt they needed to shield his sensiblilities. My blind friend, Wilf, gets very angry when people apologise for making any reference to 'seeing' things and takes great delight in taking the piss out of anyone for any reason whatsoever! The thing that all people have in common is that they are all humans. No-one warrants different treatment on the grounds of age, colour, creed, race or ability.

Now, back to you I'm afraid. I do find your assumption that I would like to perform homosexual acts with you rather insulting though so I will not invite you to you to kiss my 'ass'. I doubt you could afford it anyway.

:D
