-- a deaf chef cannot do one thing
A recent DeafDigest article focused on Kristofer
Jonsson, a deaf New Zealand chef who never screams
at the kitchen staff. There is just one thing he
cannot do - that all hearing chefs must do -
handle telephone orders! His boss said:
Food is food; there's no other way to chop
an onion than to chop an onion

-- sign language video by a newly elected politician
Newly elected London mayor Sadiq Khan was featured
in a sign language video. He said, in sign language,
that he has seen the deaf facing discrimination and
will work hard to remove these anti-deaf barriers.
In USA, will we see either Clinton or Trump promising,
in sign language, to help the deaf in any which
way possible? We shall see!
-- lucky because police is dumb
A deaf man was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
He was convicted in the lower court. He appealed
and the higher court judge threw out the conviction.
The police officer, that arrested him on drunk driving,
did not provide him with an interpreter. The upper
court judge agreed that arrested deaf individuals,
regardless of crime, must be provided with an
interpreter. It did not happen in USA, but in
Ireland!
