A Joke: "It is too bad; such a pretty woman is a mute."

I heard this joke a few month ago from our church choir director, Ms. Chang. She told me a story when she was in the seminary school studying music.

One day, after a long-day of music class, she was hungry but dead-tired. She drove a car to a night market. She ordered the food, asked for the food price and paid the bill from an eatery shop, all in sign language.

Responding to Ms. Chang's sign language, the attendant of the eatery served the food, telling Ms. Chang the cost of the food and accepting the bill, also all in sign language.

After the meal, Ms. Chang went to the car, saying to herself.

"It is shameful. Such a pretty girl (the attendant) is a mute."

As soon as Ms. Chang was about to drive away, she heard a voice from the attendant.

"Wow, can a mute be allowed to drive a car ?"
