Strange thread if you ask me...but I guess there are lots of questions that hearing people are afraid to ask, and AquaBlue just isn't afraid to ask them! (For a long time I used to wonder if deaf people missed elevators a lot if they weren't watching to see when they arrived.)
I have never had this experience at any deaf gathering. I think I have heard somebody fart maybe a couple of times at Gally. Most deaf people are aware that farts make noise and they control themselves, just like hearing people do.
I do not mind if hearies ask me questions, what I have a problem with is stupid questions like the one on this thread.
