alright....so some of you may remember my story about the "deaf chic," in response to one of julio's "body fluid swap" story. so last night, i went out with my boy to our favorite carribean club (vibes). we used to go every weekend when we worked together, but i haven't been able to go there in MONTHS. this is the same spot where i picked up the deaf chick....that one time...
anyway, so i walk in...and who do i see??? you got it, the deaf girl. ironically, she was there with a deaf dude! we found it pretty funny (we being me, my boy, and our bartender friend). obviously, i couldn't help but watch them and wonder why two deaf people would be in the club and WHAT the hell are they talking about...
i don't know sign language, but i started noticing they seemed a little annoyed with each other. i spoke to my bartender, and her and her crew noticed the same thing. the deaf dude was doing gestures like, flicking the bottom of his nose at her, and doing the hand signal most people do when someone talks too much (hand shaped like a beak, opening and closing). it was pretty amazing, but raised a lot of questions. the first amazing thing i noticed, they both had cell phones. it also made me wonder, do they make a special TEXT plan for deaf people? the dude at one point walked outside like he was leaving. i guess the girl rode with him...but she began dancing in her seat. i wondered, how is she dancing ON BEAT??? my bartender suggested that maybe it was the vibrations, but i put my hands on the table, and still wouldn't have been able to stay on beat. anyhow...the dude finally came back...they argued more, then they left (both with attitudes). that was probably the most entertaining thing i've ever seen in my life.
the main question i had after the incident...is it hard to argue in sign language??? the other person doesn't even have to look at you...that's gotta be rough, especially when you have a point to make.
P.S. no harm/offense meant to the deaf community
