We the Deaf have a similar humour, so I can relate here.

Deaf people sometimes joke about hearing people being “deafing impaired” or “signing impaired” so I can relate!

I wouldn’t say this in front of chair challenged people since they are so sensitive to their abilities / disabilities. But don’t you feel sorry for them: they have to look for a chair while we are sitting in the best chair in the place. It’s always with me. My chair has 81 little air balloons supporting my butt, the chair turns around on a dime and can take off like a scalder rocket. And after the annual firework display I just turn on my lights and zip up through the traffic jam to get home.

Is that what we’ve been reduced to as a species? How much money we’re worth and how close to Brad and Angelina we all look like? Consider the following from Ballastexistenz […]

It’s really sickening.

As for the original post? Classic. That sort of humor by inversion (is there even a term for that?) has always been entertaining to me.

I still can’t get that “eyeballs, eyeballs…” entry of yours off my mind. I’m not sure it was meant to be humorous, and the feeling itself isn’t funny, but it made me giggle to hear it said ‘out loud’. I wish everyone who ever told a child “LOOK at me when I talk to you!” had to read that.
