#28: I Saw the Sign
As someone who studied languages in college, this joke makes me groan and laugh at the same time. I have to say, though: I think I disagree with the punchline. I think that learning either English or sign language would be pretty handy, although only one of them would be pretty handy. This is getting a little confusing.
I’ve known a lot of people who studied sign language and then never used it. I think the only time it came in handy for some people at my high school was when our choir teacher thought it would be cool to have people signing the lyrics to a sad song we were singing, even though no one in the audience was deaf. So, I guess we should say that if you come in contact with deaf people, then knowing sign language which is handy.
