R U Intelligent?

Intelligence Test

A dumb person goes to the store and wants to buy a toothbrush. To tell the clerk what he wants to buy, he imitates brushing his teeth by putting his hand in front of his mouth and whisking it. The clerk understands immediately and gives him a toothbrush.

Now, the question... if a blind person wants to buy a pair of sunglasses, what would be the ideal way for him to express what he wants to buy?? When you think you have the answer, scroll down to see if it's correct.



























The ideal way would be to open your mouth and say "A pair of sunglasses, please!".



Hopefully everyone answered correctly on this simple IQ test.

My son's ex is deaf and she said the same thing about 'Deaf and Dumb' being bad form. Not everybody knows that, so you can't say this thread isn't educational.
