Crippled Monkey here. Yes, it's me. I'm back. And since I'm terribly modest, I know you're pleased to see me. Thank you to the four Ouch Guest Bloggers who have done such a superb job - possibly too superb a job - in keeping my desk warm for me while I was on holiday.



Joe Pasquale: he's got a squeaky voice

But now, back to the web-surfing, and one story that caught my eye whilst I was away, which I've absolutely been champing at the bit to bring you, is the news that squeaky-voiced comedian and winner of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, Joe Pasquale, can seemingly ! I know! I was as shocked as you are now! But it's true (ish):

"A man who has been unable to speak for almost 50 years has uttered his first words: 'I want to see Joe Pasquale.' Paul Hibbard is 47 years old and never been able to talk because of cerebral palsy. But he was given a Steven Hawking-style voice generator, then stunned staff at his Warwickshire care home by asking to see the squeaky-voiced comic."

Crippled Monkey would just like to add that I'm not a great fan of the Pasquale comic genius. But if your poor disablified life has been changed forever by the healing powers of a top-flight (or even not so top-flight) comedian - whether it was Bernard Manning, Wee Jimmy Krankie, Les Dennis or even Jim Davidson (OK, maybe not Jim Davidson) - then drop me a line here at Ouch. Please. I'm serious. [Link via ]

Crippled Monkey How can you not appreciate Joe Pasquale's care plan to improve the life of others. Joe is a clever, witty and ingenious fellow who has brought laughter into my life on the many occasions I have been so 'on the edge' Uncomplicated humour is the essesence of easy living and it heals so much.... try it sometime!

Its all lies and i should know because over ten years ago i went to see "joe" but shortly after that i was disabled. Yes he was funny but he can also make you laugh so much that you don`t` see danger. I was happily listening to him on tape while driving,job, when i was unloading my cargo. Still laughing i trapped my hand in machinery causing me to break bones and from there i have deteriorated into the wheelchair druggy i am today. Please warn your readers that they could end up the same. "BEWARE" Comedy can kill!!! Thank you Joe.
