"I can't hear you, I'm blind." made me laugh. My best friend is blind but we never joke about it. Not because he's sensitive but because it's what like everyone else in the world does and it grates on my nerves after a while hearing the same dumb jokes that I made with him 5 years ago. He takes it in stride and chalks it up to how people try to deal with the whole issue. We have our occaisional moments but they are more due to me forgetting that he is blind and saying something like "You know, if you really stare at that guy's rear end..." forgetting that staring doesn't do him much good. Back in the day, when my grandfather was in his 30's or 40's his best friend was a man named Maury who was wheel-chair bound and had limited mobility of his arms and legs. They used to like to go into malls and my grandfather would, out of the blue, start screaming at Maury and roll him angrily into a wall, screaming about him being a 'loving cripple' and then storm off. Maury would make some sort of half-moan/half-cry sound until a crowd gathered around trying to help him. I don't know, it sounded funny to hear my grandfather say it.
