Very often when I tell someone I'm blind, I get the impression the other person is deaf.  Later in the conversation they'll say, "If 
you'll get a
pencil and paper, I'll give you a number you can call."  Another response I commonly get is, "When you come, take such and such exit 
from
I71," etc..  It makes me wonder if they heard anything I said.  LOL!

Subject: A hilariously funny experience today.


Hi all, well I had an interesting experience today, no no actually, let
me rephrase Todd and I had an interesting experience today.

It was about eleven maybe sooner when all of a sudden we get this ding
dong!!! Someone was ringing our doorbell, we weren't sure if it was a
package for my Birthday or our anniversary though we had thought we'd
gotten everything so Todd went to the door and asked who it was.  From
what Todd said it sounded to him like she said she was a bible student.
I was in the bedroom at the time and as Todd opened the door not
letting her in I started walking slowly slowly to the bedroom door
listening to what was being said, She said to Todd, hi I'm a bible
student and Todd says hi what can I do for you? At this point we kinda
had a thought it was a Jehovah's witness or a Mormon however, I've
never seen any Mormons in our neighborhood but the Jw's are every where
here. Anyway, Todd asks what can I do for you? She says oh did I wake
you up? Now Todd is also totally blind and I think his eyes look like
there closed so we think that's why she asked that. Todd said no you
didn't, then she asks can you read? Todd said no mam I'm blind. Well,
as he is saying those words I am blind, I step out of the room and come
forward as she is saying to Todd, well, we'll just come back another
time, and I opened my mouth and without thinking said well, we'll still
be blind. and Todd and her both are like huh? and I said we'll still be
blind and Todd repeated what I'd said, there was like a full minute of
silence and she then said well, we'll be back. I just had to laugh. I
knew what she meant but I don't know it was just hilarious.
