Careers for the DeafBlind

Warning!! The following is just a tongue-in-cheek humorous sketch from a warped mind. So don't start wagging your finger and going "tsk tsk" at me. If you're DeafBlind and DO have one of these jobs then all the more power to you!

Manager at LensCrafters:
"Here are your glasses Sir"
"I can't see anything!"
"They look fine to me"
(Crash) "Eep!"

Forklift Driver at Sam's Club:
"Yeah that skid will fit up there"
(Hum of machine forks lifting heavy stacked skid 2 stories high)
(Shove - 2 skids fall off on the other side)
"There! That'll do it!" (zips around corner in forklift)
"Hey?! Who left this mess??"

Switchboard operator at AT&T:
"Hello welcome to AT&T, please hold"
"Hello welcome to AT&T, please hold"
"Hello welcome to AT&T, please hold"
(snickering - you get the picture)

Order Taker for Pizza Hut:
"Good evening, Pizza Hut, what can I get you?"
(mumbling on phone line)
"Yes sir, be there in 30 minutes"
DrMZZ: "WTH?? I Didn't order anchovies!!!??"

Security Guard at Harrah's Casino:
(boss storms into security office)
"We just lost $10 million dollars!!"
"Really?? I didn't see anything."

Driving School Educator:
"Hmmm how come I don't have any customers?"

Doggie "DooDoo" Cleanup Service:
(Crawling around a backyard on hands and knees)
"Found one!" (picks up doodoo and puts it in bag)
(patting around ground some more)
"Found another!" (picks it up and puts it in bag)
(patting around and stubs fingers on tree)
"OW!" (puts fingers in mouth)

Alright, alright, my mind's getting crazier by the minute :)
Humor is just my way of dealing with stress (as my husband will tell you with eyes rolling). I tell people "Ya know what they say about if someone loses a sense, another one takes over? Well I got weak sight, weak hearing, and no smell! So my sense of touch and my sense of humor took over!"

I love it! Another sick mind out there, hehehehehe. I have to agree with something you said though, since my sight and hearing both suck, the sense of humor just took over. Unfortunately, that would be the SICK sense of humor:-] Kind of like telling people that my goal is to be a race car driver when they know of my situation, you can just see the wheels turning and the smoke billowing....

Honestly, the deafblind workers here are doing just as well as any sightedhearing person. I mean, how many times has the pizza guy gotten your order wrong? And seriously, At&T puts you on hold and never talks to you all the time. Hey, maybe there really are deafblind operators at AT&T!

p.s. Could you remove the capcha from comments? It's really hard for deafblind people to use!!

Could you elaborate on capcha please? I couldn't find answers on it anywhere.
Thanks
