Inspiration

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if a blind man wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer...

He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses."

Several years ago while working at the county jail (where I still work) I was locking down the inmates for the night and one man didn't want to get off the phone. After several attempts to get him to hang up the phone failed, I switched it off.

About two nights later I was working the same wing and the same inmate called me over and said that if we were on the street that wouldn't happen.

I said, “Ya, you've got that right! I would have no reason to tell you to get off the phone and if I wanted to use a phone I would go and find one.”

He had nothing more to say.
