Philosophical Question

If a tree falls at Gallaudet University, does it make a sound?

This is potentially a gold mine of tasteless humor. I wish I had time to explore it thoroughly. Please feel free to fill in for me.

If a man speaks and no woman is there to hear it, is he still wrong?

That's what they keep telling me...

ROTFL! That's beyond tasteless!

We could start with the Helen Keller jokes....

How do HK's parents punish her?
Have her read the waffle iron...

:-P

I'm glad someone has opened the door. Now I feel less bad about the few snarky comments I let slip through.

I can't quite blame you, Bitter, seeing the motives behind the deafening silence.

Oh - and what is Helen Keller's favorite color? Courduroy.

Oh, tasteless is my middle name. But I thought HK's parents punished her by rearranging the furniture?

Or by making her read stucco.

Her supporters -- including Jordan and board Chairman Brenda Jo Brueggemann -- have said that Fernandes was the most qualified candidate, that the search process was fair and that she deserves a chance to prove herself.

Apparently the protesters are two for three on being deaf, dumb, and blind.

This is an undiluted example of the identity-politics of Holy(wood) victimhood, not unlike the weeper, Children of a Lesser God...
