DEAF HUMOR What do deaf people laugh at?
OPPRESSION Most jokes are caused by oppression of a group A deaf couple check into a motel. They retire early. In the middle of the night, the wife wakes her husband complaining of a headache and asks him to go to the car and get some aspirin from the glove compartment. Groggy with sleep, he struggles to get up, puts on his robe, and goes out of the room to his car. He finds the aspirin, and with the bottle in hand he turns toward the motel. But he cannot remember which room is his. After thinking a moment, he returns to the car, places his hand on the horn, holds it down, and waits. Very quickly the motel rooms light up, all but one. It's his wife's room, of course. He locks up his car and heads toward the room without a light. http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=I 2 n. X 41 Kvn. NY http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=VXDn. J 8 su.
