The sign for Poe
A comedy conversation by Wicked Wedgie Woman 15,741 12

My little sister came for a surprise visit from Seattle with her new boyfriend, Mike. They traveled across the country because he competes in "disc golf." It sounded like a hippie game so ignored the explanations of it. Well, that and because Mike is deaf and I don't speak sign language. Plus, I really just didn't care.



For over an hour and half I tried to have a conversation with this him while my sister interpreted. That was sucked because he kept correcting her mistakes so it took like a half hour to say "I need a beer."



What made the event more agonizing is that my sister felt the need to try and teach me what he was saying and making me repeat it back in sign language. I just wasn't getting the hang of it, and I am sure the beer had NOTHING to do with it, so I just asked her what the sign for the word "Poe" was.



After that, every time Mike said something I didn't understand, I just replied with the sign for Poe. He didn't really get it and thought that I was calling him a Poe.



I don't know that they will be back for a visits anytime soon

By the way the sign for Poe is done thusly: Make two fists, now press both of your forefingers together, now press both of your thumbs together.



Now put them all over your crotch

I had a friend who worked for a deaf school. He would walk around all the time signing when no one with a hearing impediment was around. He would just make a sign and say: "do you know what that means?", about every two minutes.

It started to get a little anoying so i finally started rubbing my brow, tugging my nose, and brushing my shoulders. I asked him if he knew what that meant.

"No" he responded.

I said "It means steal third, and while your at it, SHUT THE Frost UP"

I have a purty little handbasket to carry me to my place at the head table.



I am POSITIVE Jane will be at this table as well.



I forgot to mention that my sister signed while she talked to us so I decided to sign as well. So I just started making up my own gestures while speaking.



He did not find this funny.



They say when god takes away one gift he gives you another in return. He may have taken this guys hearing but he didn't give him humour for it.

I think that is very funny, so I guess I'm going to hell along with the rest of you.



I'm wondering if we'll be allowed one personal effect in hell. Bottled water or floss? What will I choose.

When I was growing up, my best friends parents were deaf. I thought it was funny how he would walk around his parents, swearing up a storm whenever he pleased and didn't worry about getting in trouble, as long he wasn't face to face with them. When they would argue, he would wait 'til their back was turned and then start yelling, "You stupid Froster! Why do you always have to be such a freaking dumbass! Suck my dick, you Emerson!"



I thought it was all hilarious. Sometimes, we'd get caught smoking out in his alley and his dad would make a phone call to my parents to tell them about it on their TTY machine. At those times, I thought it appropriate to give him a piece of my mind as well, although not to his face. I, angrily, cussed him out to his back while he was typing away on his TTY when my friends sister, who was in the other room, heard me and told the parents.



I wasn't allowed back over for a long time.

One of my best friends down in old Mejico is blind. Whenever we got together to play cards or dominoes or backgammon or whatever he could get his hands on and feel the pits on the dice or chips or mark the cards in Braille he would take a sip of beer and say "Goddamn, that felt good, even my eyes cleared up!



He was an excellent driver after drinking a whole lot.

The signing fiend of a friend of mine was dating a deaf girl.

Things started going down hill when she would use the phone relay service to tell him rather delicate things. He said it was wierd listening to strangers telling him things like: "umm.. 'i am really good with my tongue, and will show you on Saturday'"

Roofie,



Not only did I try but I tested the boundaries. I am suspended from the TTY service from my home phone line for 6 weeks.



I told a particularly nasty story about a mutual friend with self-esteem issues. Salad was tossed. I was practically a salad bar. Well, the story got really ugly and I got blamed.



I want to see what will get me a lifetime ban

Mas clickitas to Phla for linking to free kittie. I haven't laughed that hard since I dreamt the chick from the Gilmore Girls tripped and fell into a chipper shredder.



And as for the handicapped, I'm getting tired of this belief that so many of them have that their deafness/blindness/fatness/leglessness/whatever gives them license to be sh*theads.



Yeah, it sucks that you can't see/hear/whatever, but you still gots to say "please," "thang kew," and "sorry," or you can suck a dead cat's ass.

I have just returned from the bar with my mother, two younger sisters and the drunk guy. I tried sign language his way and it is just too difficult.



Instead I have made up my own. It is graphic enough to be understood by all.
