-- late-deafened police officer loses his job
Bruce Shields, a long time police officer with
the police department at Reading, Berkshire,
in Great Britain, lost his job. Reason was
his late deafness. His supervisor said that
he has problems telling the difference between
"shoot" and "don't shoot". He has filed
an appeal.
-- a French-speaking deaf woman
A deaf woman was chatting with her doctor.
He asked if she was born in France. She
said she was born in South Carolina,
and does not know the French language.
The doctor heard her accent, and thought
it was a French accent. He then realized
the woman was deaf, with "perfect" speech.
How would a deaf woman from South Carolina
speak like a French woman?
