Not clever, he might have heard it but to recycle it was not a clever thing to do. Many will vote with their feet and wallets, you are sir a PRAT and that was not clever. Blast how inconvenient thats another couple of Christmas pressies to re-think, and cash he has lost.

Yet another example of people eager to be offended by proxy. There wouldn't have been an issue if Jimmy Carr had prefaced his remark with, "I heard this from one of the guys at Headley Court and it cracked me up." I'm much more 'outraged' about people who resent sharing a swimmng pool with amputees and declare that they should be kept out of sight.

(I still think Jimmy Carr's a prat though)

WHY was it not clever? What makes soldiers (wounded or not) immune to being the butt of the same type of humour that we throw around at others all the time?

Really? Any links?

Of course they will. Despite the fact he tell jokes about rape, kiddie fiddling, domestic abuse etc it doesn't seem to stop him preforming for full houses, but now he's dared to tell a joke about the armed forces the crowds will stay away.

I thought it was quite funny.

Ah but Frankie Boyls is funny

Seconded. Boyle has forgotten more about comedy than Carr will ever know. :D

Having said that, it's not worth getting the Outrage Bus out of the garage for. Apart from anything else, Carr will probably use quotes from ARRSE as part of the publicity for his next book or tour...

The truth behind the joke?

Now, however, Sgt Brennan is fighting to represent his country again - at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.

The 27-year-old, is one of 42 amputee soldiers who last month received letters offering them a chance to compete for a place in the Paralympic squad.

This is a joke that I am sure has already been retold at headley Court,You know what squaddies are like with their sense of humour......just because a soldier has lost limbs do you think makes them less of a squaddie in their mind.....maybe you would like to suggest that to them?

The worst thing is to be mollycoddled and wrapped in cotton wool after an injury,with all the horseplay and teasing going on between injured troops it makes you feel just like one off the boys again...which of course you always will be.

I've always thought that he was a puffed up, fat faced unfunny cnut. That is still the case.

What amazes me though, is that it is seemingly OK to take the p1ss out of mongs, etc on here(guilty), and then come over all indignant when a bit of the same is thrown back "our" way.

Park the bus, and might I remind you all

If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

PS

Carr ( both of them ) = Unfunny cnut.

A soldier with no arms walked up to a bar and asked for a beer.

The bartender shoved the foaming glass in front of him.

"Look," said the customer, " I've just got back from Afghanistan without my arms - would you please hold the glass up to my mouth?"

"Sure, always happy to help a hero" said the bartender, and he did.

"Now," said the customer, "I wonder if you'd be so kind as to get my handkerchief out of my pocket and wipe the foam off my mouth."

"Certainly. Always happy to help a hero!" And it was done.

"If," said the armless man, "you'd reach in my right hand pants pocket, you'll find the money for the beer."

The bartender got it. 'Always happy to help a hero.

"You've been very kind," said the customer. "Just one thing more. Where is the men's room?"

'Fcuk off. You're barred!'

Lad who told me this was just back from Afghanistan himself. Get a sense of humour - he has
