-- hope it is not a lemonade stand joke
DeafDigest mentioned a deaf boy selling lemonades
to get enough money to buy new hearing aids.
There are already jokes on the web sites that
either the IRS will go after him for unpaid taxes
or the Food and Drug Administration will go
after him to make sure the lemonades are safe
to drink or the town office will go after him
because of no business license. He is just 9 years
old - leave him alone and let him enjoy the joys
of childhood!
-- deaf muttons in England
Some British people speak with Cockney slangs,
that look funny to us. If they say something
like "I am a mutton" then it means deaf person.
Since mutton means lamb, so does it really
mean deaf lamb? No. There was a famous American
cartoon strip - Mutt and Jeff. For some reason
the Cockneys copied Mutt as a deaf word! Language
is often funny! The Cockney slang is dying, same
as with many other slangs.
-- a deaf physician on front page cover of a magazine
Dr. Christopher Moreland, who is deaf, has been featured
on the front page of The Hospitalist magazine. He is a
physician but specializes in patient care in hospitals.
He does not directly treat patients but makes sure the
patients get A to Z attention by different doctors
and different nurses in a hospital. This is why he is
more of a hospitalist, than as a physician! He works at
the The University of Texas Health Science Center at
San Antonio.
