Just sit back and enjoy what life is like to be Helen Keller.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that being blind and deaf doesn’t seem too desirable. But at least Helen Keller has carved out a cottage industry from it. Think about it, who else is there whom you could use in a punchline for a joke about being deaf AND blind? Most other famous blind people, like Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles, were given outstanding auditory abilities to balance out their blindness. And other deaf people can, um, make hand gestures to replace coherent words. Boy, those deafies really get the shaft in comparison, eh? Other than the fact that you could f their ear and they’d be totally unaffected. Not sure if that qualifies as a perk, though.
