I kinda got that from context, but what is the commercial for, that they use a blind spokesman?

Its an ad for the DMV.

Is there still room on the bus?

I’m an ass, just because I couldn’t help thinking “slap a sparkly outfit and goofy glasses on him, and he’ll turn right into Norman Gentle”.

Thanks! Now I’ll have to watch for it…

Ogre, this should help…

I’ve been with my fiancee for many years, he’s blind, and we tease and needle each other all the time. The blindness is not off limits for that, except once - he had got his prosthesis (fake eye) in the wrong way. I could NOT keep myself from laughing when I saw it, and can usually control myself. He sulked for a while and I felt just slightly guilty, because it was just that uncontrollable.

does he have any fun ones? A buddy of mine has an eight ball, a target and an earth globe … i really like it when he has earth in his eye =) it covers the us mainly =) I was suggesting he get the pacific ocean but he said nobody would recognize it

I’ll totally have to suggest one of those to him, although he does wear dark glasses. Maybe a cats-eye? Does your buddy have a gold grill to go with his awesome eight-ball?

If I ever lost an eye, I have two really cool ideas.

One is to not have a glass eye at all, but wear an eye patch all the time… untill someone needs a bottle opener! Then I would remove the patch, revealing the bottle opener that occupies the socket.

Idea number two is to have a glass eye that is a negative of my real eye! With a black pupil, a black ‘white’ and some kind of… purplish-red color for the iris.

I remember when I was watching the Oscars and they showed a clip from a previous ceremony with a presenter speaking in an unusual voice. I was only half-watching, so the voice amused me so much I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Then I realized the presenter was Marlee Matlin and felt really embarrassed.

After seeing her involved in “What the $%&# Do We Know” (even though she was a wide-eyed innocent through most of it), I’m not sure I could even feel embarrassed about that.

You’d make an excellent department store Santa for the kiddies!
