Deaf Anthology # 358: "Deaf Rudolf."

Forget the song, let's meet Rudolf, the Deaf red nose reindeer, not only he is Deaf Santa navigator on Christmas eve, he makes it easier for Deaf Santa to talk with his Deaf friends outside lighting up the place since it is dark up here in the Arctic Circle, you know, the North pole, and whenever there is a power blackout which often are frequent, as his Deaf elves are busy at this time of the year.

Deaf Santa refused to replace Rudolf, whom he trusted, with another Deaf reindeer whose red ears are blinking because they are a hazard, a risk over hostile territories. Yes, Virginia, even Deaf reindeer are cochlear-implanted.

Deaf Anthology # 357: "Deaf Santa"

We meet up with the Deaf Santa at the North Pole, he was reading the USA Today newspaper yesterday that had a full page ad, "Some kids want toys for Christmas, others just want to hear!" asking for donation to the Hearing Angel Foundation. The Deaf Santa told me that he don't recall any Deaf children asking for a hearing aid for Christmas after all these years making public appearances at malls throughout the world except for one who was involuntarily persuaded by her parents to ask for one, tearfully pointing out the Barbie on display she had her heart set on.

Deaf Santa told me that Deaf kids told him the darnest things when he surveyed them asking if they rather have hearing aids instead of toys, here's the the top ten list;

1. "I understand better seeing than hearing!"

2. "Who punched Rudolf in the nose."

3. "My guardian angel can sign."

4. "...not yet, still HIV."

5. "If only DBC can afford that ad."

6. My hamster ate my earmold."

7. "...been naughty, playing with myself."

8. "Can Deaf your elves read lips?"

9. "My speech teacher taught me to pronounced...S...S...Satan." (smile)

10. "...it's not a refrigerator magnet." (pointing to his CI)

Deaf Anthology # 356: "Ice Cubes:

This Floridian Deaf driver were pulled over by the Miami police for littering and was fined $250 and it doesn't make any sense to me as all he did was to throw out the ice cubes from his window after drinking his cold lemonade on a hot day. He tries to reasoned with the officer to no avail that it will melt itself. He contested it in court, the judge sided with the officer denying that Dade county is in a financial crisis and the Deaf claiming to be set up. Even the interpreter agreed with the judge, explaining to the Deaf driver that one died in a fatal accident because a thirsty squirrel was licking on the evaporating water in the middle of the road causing one to swerved to the ditch, and he wasn't doing a commercial as one may think.
As an afterthought, it was a big squirrel though.

Deaf Anthology # 355: "Fire"

Birmingham, Alabama. Three Deaf children died in their sleep from smoke inhalation, an tragic event that could have been preventable. Police reported that there were no smoke detectors in the household. The Deaf parents managed to escaped unharmed shown copies of the relay conversation they had with the Birmingham fire department just a few days ago when they requested that free smoke detectors be installed in their home but was told that they do not have any with strobe lights. The Deaf been paying property taxes all these years and been complaining to their aldermen that they were denied smoke detectors that were available free to everyone else but them, according to their lawyer who just filed multi-million dollars lawsuit against the city despite its financial crisis. Three Deaf children died because the city couldn't afford to spend another three dollars to purchase ones with the strobe lights. I just called the city, they never returned my call, I might as well be the next victim. Imagine, Birmingham, the cradle of the civil rights movement, still ignores its responsibilities to its citizens, it will take a headline to finally get their attention.

Deaf Anthology # 354: "Victim"

The Deaf elderly are the most vulnerable of all victims of crime, few, if any, has taken precautions. In this case, a Deaf elderly woman, age 85, was escorted to her car for her own safety, as she thought, after picking up her prescriptions. It was in the parking lot when the suspect demanded money, the victim using gestures pointing to her ear, indicating that she is Deaf. Little did the suspect known what's he's getting into as the Deaf elderly woman opened her purse, and pulled out a handgun and pointed at his ear, then once again, using gestures equating to; "Me Deaf, You Dead." The suspect got the message and ran for his life. The whole incident was videotaped, the suspect was later identified and arrested.
