-- Walgreens executive says deaf can do it
We have a few deaf forklift drivers, but many companies
won't hire deaf people to drive forklifts. They say
deafness is a danger in crowded warehouse areas.
Wrong, says Walgreens executive Randy Lewis. He
said "we found deaf forklift drivers are twice as
safe as someone who can hear." He understands the
needs of the deaf and the disabled because his son
is an autistic.
-- missing in a hearing person's hand bag
A newspaper ran a story of a hearing woman's
hand bag and the stuff in it. Inside the bag were
wallet, cash, snacks, eye mask and ear plugs, sewing
kit, safety pins, hygiene tools, band aids, pocket
beverages, beauty products, nail file, mirror,
prescription pills, charger for her mobile device.
And lastly, the iPhone. Only two things were missing!
A pen and a pad! Both very important to the deaf but
very unimportant to the hearing woman!
