Those questions were just plain idiotic and deserved the respoonses you
gave. I admire your ability to think so quickly. I have never had anyone
ask me anything like that. It may be my demeanor. I am considered aloof
and reserved by those who do not really know me. Even when I could hear
normally I never had to answer any questions as dumb as your examples.
Maybe you look more approachable than I. You give as good as you get, and I
admire that. <lol>

How about the person who tapped me on the shoulder while I was sitting on a
train and said "Do you know you are on a train?" to which I said "yes"
saying it really slowly and grinning. I then added "are you kidding?" and
the person walked away without answering. I sometimes think folks talk to
us and say strange things because they have noone else to talk to and know
we won't hit them or stab them or anything. On the other hand, what kind
of lives to they have to say things like that? I have also had people ask
me "Do you know where you are going?" to which I reply "Oh yes? Do you?"
I know perhaps I ought to be more civil in some of my replies but if you
walk up to me, say, on a train where I am clearly sitting down and reading
(for bookshare or something) on my braillenote and say strange things I
just cann't help myself and I say weird things. The stranger my day has
been the weirder the things I say are.
