leeslover Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Me, to the attractive 23 year old Cambridge graduate and competition Latin and Ballroom dancer who is staying at my place for a couple of months. "By the way, I hope I haven't disturbed you with the noise from my TV or PC when you've been going to sleep?" Her: "No. Actually I have a hearing disability so I wouldn't have heard a thing anyway." Me: "Oh, great!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous_Tic Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 If she had a hearing disability then how could she tell what you were saying to her then? Learn how to say hello and some other basic phrases in sign language before you next see her, she'll be putty (or should that be ear-wax?) in your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Bet she does a mean waltz to Simon & Garfunkel's 'Sound of Silence'. She might need to find another dancing partner before we could get to the end of John Cage's masterpiece, "4 minutes, 33 seconds" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc_ok Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Don't worry about it, LL. From what you've told us about her (young, attractive, intelligent), she's out of your league anyway, so you've not cocked anything up Edited September 5, 2008 by oafc_ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 you did nothing wrong ,just being polite It would have been more polite to have turned the TV / PC down at the time, if you thought they might be too loud . Or was that just a conversation-starter so you could work your charms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc_ok Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) True, but it's all grist for the mill I had to google the phrase, but I think I know what you mean. On a totally unrelated subject, I don't suppose you can post a photo of her on here, can you? Edited September 5, 2008 by oafc_ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
