Disabled man with one leg we respect you sir and hats off to you.

If you viewed my last post ending with Pete & Dud and their one-legged man sketch, hopefully you'd see that it was funny.

Now have a look at this YouTube video, again with a one legged man but I dare you to view it with humour, the kind of humour that was exhibited in the Pete & Dud sketch. Well, of course you would not find THIS video funny - that would not be human, would not display empathy or even sympathy.




Having said that - if Pete and Dud, highly recognisable as Pete & Dud from the 1960s, knowing their reputation as satirists and even comedians - imagine Dudley Moore taking the part of this poor man but not in (what is probably) India but say in a busy street in London - digging the road up, then could you imagine what Pete might say to Dud as he passed by?

He might say …

… "I can see how you lost the first one …"

Now don't be offended by that - I am just illustrating a point about context and sometimes people have difficulty getting things in context or just plain misunderstand.

Disability is a very sensitive subject and so is humour it seems to me!
