Does a deaf mute with rheumatoid fingers
have a speed impediment per se?
How do you (and indeed should you)
kiss a *******'s unwashed crutch?
When a blind man gets concussed,
do you think he sees the stars?
Does an invalid with a hole in his trouser pocket
feel rather good sometimes?
Whom is there left for a Scottish Jew
to call a greasy miser?
Do cetaceous mammals have a whale of a time
or do stud horses have a hard life?
Why ask me?
I'm a ******* polymath already?
Some of my best friends are Scottish jews so just accept there is nothing anti-semitic in lines 9/10. The joke (such as it is) wouldn't have worked if I had said "a Welsh muslim" or a Congolese atheist" or "a New York taxi driver" instead. I could go on.
