A mute wants to buy a toothbrush

JacobJones [Edit] [Delete] 23 replies 14:37, 28 February '07

By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is made.

Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how
should he express himself?

        • blind people

          probably buy more dark glasses than not blind people

          (as a percentage of population, I mean)

          • I know

            I was trying to be clever. It's not a look that works for me. See JacobJones' lessons learnt.

              Some blindies need sunglasses because their condition renders their eyeballs exceptionally sensitive to sunlight, to the degree where it can be painful to go out without shades.

              Stealthy. Very Old And Wise.
