Used to work with a bloke who had a terrible stammer.
He also had a robust sense of humour.

He would always start a conversation with the phrase "Can I have a quick word?" only it would take him at least a minute to say it.

.
His finest gag was when he told me he'd bought an album called The The by a band called The The. His punchline was that he walked out with 18 copies. The fact that the story took about 1o minutes to tell also added to the gag.

I hope he was telling the sweet bird of truth
otherwise he'd have ended up as one of the beaten generation.

Spoke to a customer with a real bad stammer once
had to leave him finish his sentences as it's rude to 2nd guess the poor bugger. However when he told me over the time of 2 minutes that he was sorry for cutting off the last guy he was speaking to b-b-b-b-b-b-b-because his mobile credit run out I nearly coughed up a lung.

I know a guy with a terrible stammer
First met him at a working mens club where I was a barman. He ordered his drinks by handing me a note because his stammer was so bad.
Turned out he was the singer and lead guitarist in the band that were resident on Saturday nights - he sang with no hesitation but couldn't order a pint!
