A loan shark. Well not really.

So, my husband and I were talking about miscommunication through misheard comments. 

Seems one time he was at work talking with a guy who was getting ready to get married. The guy starts talking about his future father-in-law and his line of work. 

Husband hears, "He's a loan shark." And responds, "Wow, don't borrow money from him." 

Crickets start chirping. People look at him strangely. He says, "Not a loan shark?" 
His friend says, "No. A longshoreman."

Would it be as funny if it wasn't true? It's true though.

3 Hearing Impaired Women...

3 Hearing impaired women were sitting on a bench.

The first one said, "It's windy today."

The second one said, "Today's Thursday."

The third one said, "I'm thirsty too. Let's go get a drink."

This joke has been around for a while. And while it's funny, it is also a great illustration of the realities and frustrations of communication among and with the hearing impaired.
