-- good reason to become Uber driver
A deaf woman witnessed a drunken driving accident.
She then decided to become an Uber driver for
one reason - to take drunk drivers off the
road and to bring them home safely. She admits
that it is difficult to communicate with hearing
passengers while she is driving.
-- long forgotten deaf scene in a early 1980's TV sitcom
Famous actor Tom Hanks performed in an early 1980's
TV sitcom - Bosom Buddies. There was a scene where
his buddy mocked a deaf girl in high school when
she asked him to go to the prom with her. The
deaf girl, growing up as a woman, completely forgot
all about the snub. But the buddy (not Tom Hanks)
never forgave himself for mocking her - years ago.
DeafDigest assumes the deaf woman was played by a
fake-deaf actress.
