{SILENCE}

[00:00:17]

{SPEAKER name="Jan de Lap/Charles Dietz (interpreter)"}
The room was dark. Why? His wife was deaf.

[00:00:24]
Of course, alright. Now, I'm going to introduce the people that are going to give you today's show. Come on out.

[00:00:35]
{SILENCE}

[00:00:43]
This is Steve Jones. This is Libby Hathaway and on the end, Dick Moore.

[00:00:53]
I'm curious, if you know, which one of us is hearing. What do you think? Is he hearing?

[00:01:02]
If you don't know, it doesn't matter. Is he hearing? Hearing? Hearing? Is he hearing?

[00:01:11]
[[inaudible yelling]]

[00:01:15]
Okay, he's the hearing person here.

[00:01:20]
The point is, the point that I am trying to make, you can't tell a deaf person from anyone else. It's very invisible.

[00:01:30]
{SILENCE}

[00:01:37]
I think that we'll show you, people, that unfortunately, how unfortunate you are that you haven't learned sign language yet but that you do know more sign language than you think. Maybe not signs, but more like gestures. Okay? For example.

[00:01:59]
[[silence while something is signed]]

[00:02:12]
It's understandable. Many of those actions are understandable.

[00:02:17]
And, you watch and read body language and that helps if you can. I'll demonstrate a little bit. A skit.

[00:02:26]
It has to do with body language between a deaf person and a hearing person. We call it, The Bus Stop.

[00:02:33]
Now, imagine that this is a bus stop right here. The bus. They're waiting for the bus to come by. The deaf person is standing, waiting.
