Thought I'd share some of my favourite deaf jokes.   Of course, these aren't jokes by the deaf - those would be near  impossible to translate into English and the punch-line wouldn't be the  same. Enjoy!  
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.   He went to the  doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a  set of hearing  aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.   The elderly  gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor  said, "Your  hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that  you can hear  again."   The gentleman  replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit  around and listen  to the conversations. I've changed my will three  times!"  
An older gentleman had lost his hearing aid and wanted to get a new one. Before getting the new hearing aid, he wanted  his ear cleaned out, so he went to his doctor. As the doctor was cleaning his ears, he noticed a  foreign object lodged in the man's ear canal. With a pair a  tweezers, the doctor removed the object. Upon closer examination, he  discovered that it was a suppository. The doctor told the older  gentleman that he had a suppository stuck in his ear. At this, the man exclaimed, "Now I know where I put  my hearing aid!"  
I noticed a deaf couple in the library talking to  each other, evidently  in a heated argument. The wife was getting more  upset,   using large  signs, her husband could see that she was upset. Finally,  he took both  her hands in his, and signed, "Honey, you   don't have to yell, I am not  blind!"
A man marries a deaf girl.  He signs: "let's make a code: if I want sex, I will squeeze your breast.  In response, you can pull my penis once for Yes, and 50 times for No"
Deaf Girl
 
Huh, I read the title and was expecting a thoughtful article about your responses to people making fun of deaf people...
ReplyDeleteNice jokes, though. :-P

Hahaa!! Just to show that deaf people do have a sense of humour (unfortunately, the best deaf jokes can't be translated in to english).
ReplyDeleteI'm sure at some point I'll write about people making fun of deaf people though - though I am lucky in that I've come across ignorance, but never maliciousness.
