Talking to Deaf People on the Telephone

If you're deaf, or practically deaf, you shouldn't use a regular telephone. They have special phones with special operators to suit your needs. You shouldn't just scream at the person on the other end of the line, there's no need of that. Also, what good is trying to communicate with someone over the phone when you can't hear their reply? I can scream at you until I go hoarse and my coffee gets cold, but you still won't have any idea what I'm saying.

Prison Tattoos

I deal with a lot of truckers at my job and I've come to notice that a lot of said truckers have prison tattoos. You know what I'm talking about, the faded and hastily scrawled tattoos that look like they were made with a safety pin, a ballpoint pen and something that was fermented in a bucket behind a radiator. Sometimes you see the classic LOVE and HATE knuckle tattoos, sometimes its a crude approximation of a cartoon character and sometimes its just some entirely cryptic symbol. Whenever you see someone with prison tattoos, you can be sure that there's a story behind that ink. You can also be sure that I won't be the one to ask them for that story.
