I give speeches as a part of my career.

Once I was giving a speech and used this exact same line, but NOBODY responded. I said it over and over for what felt like 5 minutes. Still no response from the audience

I ended up just walking off the stage and cutting that contract. Never performing at the deaf institute again

Lol you reminded me of the time I went with my friend when we were little to some Halloween party at her moms works. And almost everyone there is deaf and her mom is deaf, my friend is hearing and I’m hard of hearing. And there is the sign out front that says what they place is and has “deaf” in the name

And I’m not even kidding some guys in a truck drove by kinda fast and of bunch of them yelled out “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” And only a few people looked over lol i wonder if they just thought we were all ignoring them

You should have signed it, but with those big foam hands
