Deaf Awareness Week

From CripHumor:

Old Interpreters [for the deaf] never die, they just sign off

[thanks to skulkingdawg for this one…]
I came out of a convenience store the other day and some seedy looking guy walks up to me and holds up a little sign: “DEAF & MUTE … Can you spare $10?”

Wow! What happened to a dollar or two? So I reached into my pocket for my wallet, opened it, took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to him.

It said: “I CAN’T READ” and I walked away.

Call 1-800-HEARING for free information on deafness.

Karaoke is Japanese for “tone deaf drunk with a microphone.”

The deaf cowboy rode with his dog and herd.

>From TV’s M.A.S.H., “How can you eat this slop, Radar?” “My mouth is tone-deaf.”

The dialog from a Frank and Ernest cartoon by Bob Thaves…
The scene is a health club. The sign on the wall says ‘Weight Room. Improve Your Muscle Tone.’ A muscular guy with a sleeve less shirt that states ‘Trainer’ says to a shaking and worn out looking Frank [who is struggling to lift weights] ‘Apparently your muscle tone is deaf.’

A nurse places her stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf
female patient’s posterior chest wall. “Big breaths,” instructed
the nurse. “Yes, they used to be,” remorsed the patient.
