Yup, I was actually wondering if someone would do this!
Well played, sir.
Thank you!
I have to relate a story about my finger spelling. As many of you know, my sister Peggy was deaf. She could read lips very well, but she preferred sign. One morning, Peggy and I, along with two of her deaf friends, went to Ihop for breakfast. We were settled in the middle of the place where the light was bright and Peggy started to "converse" with her friends. Every once in a while I would chime in with my poorly gesticulated words which would cause a lot of laughter at our table.
When I was NOT joining in, I would listen to the very rude comments coming from the table immediately behind us. As the meal went on, the comments just got more and more deprecating. I, believe it or not, held my tongue.
When we had finished and the bill paid, I made it a point to go back to the table behind us. The three well dressed handiphobes were still there.
Everything got very quiet as I leaned in. I stated in a very loud voice that..."It is VERY foolish to assume that EVERYONE at a table shares the same handicap!"
As the dining room erupted in laughter, these three "ladies" seemed to physically shrink, embarrassed beyond belief.
Best breakfast I EVER had!
