Glad you liked it. I thought someone might take "politically correct issues" with it. (big sigh). Probably even worse. My family and I were eating dinner at Pizza Hut one night and noticed a man and his wife were in the corner and they had a "guide dog" with them and the man had a white cane. Well about eight adults got seated at a table right beside the guy and apparently didn't see the dog. These adults were obviously having a great time, laughing, joking, etc. One guy picked up the menu and realized he had forgotten his reading glasses, so the whole table went on and on, in very loud voices, about how he was "BLIND AS A BAT!" and "YOU COULDN"T SEE 2 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU IF YOU TRIED." My whole family sat there cringing. Well let me tell you, when that couple left with the "guide dog" it got so quiet at that table of adults, you could have heard a grain of salt drop. And to all that think I'm making fun of the handicapped, I'm not. My husband has been profoundly hard of hearing since birth. (10% hearing bilaterally - 50% with $5000 hearing aids) and he pokes fun at himself. I'll say, "Honey the trash goes out tonight," and he'll say, "Huh? sorry can't hear you."
