1. K&R! Wow! A wonderful idea that is long overdue!

Wishing them all the best and hoping this spreads quickly!

3. I do as well, Rhiannon if the idea spreads to other restaurants or businesses it may

also spread the knowledge of sign language along with giving people with hearing disabilities more livelihood opportunities.

Peace to you.

6. Thanks so much for posting this, just wish it was closer

I've studied ASL, think it should be more prevalent since it's universal, not to mention helpful to know. And, like any language, if you don't use it, you lose it.

2. Nice!

I used to interact with deaf passengers when I worked at National Airport, because of Gallaudet College being there. I learned some very basic signs, and the deaf were extremely appreciative that I did so. I eventually became friends with two hearing people who were interpreters for the deaf and it was fascinating hanging out with them.

4. I'm happy you appreciate it, SheilaT.

It's a whole new world isn't it?

5. This is great. I mean really great

[Uncle Joe]

7. I agree, SummerSnow, I hope it spreads.

Peace to you.

15. Just think about how many hearing impaired people avoid going to resturants cause

there are none who have waitstaff that know sign language

8. Wow that's great! I wonder if it would be legal in the USA to have a restaurant

where they don't hire hearing people. I bet it would be challenged in court.

[Uncle Joe]

9. That's a good question and it probably would be. Not that I believe that

this would be a major threat to hearing people's rights, considering the inherent economic disadvantages faced by people that can't hear.

10. Double Cool. I wonder if they could put the sign lanquage by each order ?

I just remembered something I always thought was funny on so many levels.

Anybody here ever seen the "News for the hearing impaired" on the old Sat night Live ?

11. You're thinking about Chevy Chase and Garrett Morris

That was a funnier skit before I became hard of hearing.

And to answer your question yes, they put sign language on the menus and cheat cards as well for other expressions.

12. The language of love is the same all over the world.

Interesting post, Uncle Joe.

Love, Peace and Shelter.
