We went to this place that had a dart board and pool table, etc. He excused himself for a minute and so I'm watching these few couples play darts. A couple of them were pretty good. While I was watching, I realized that none of them were talking. They were communicating with sign language. After watching for a few minutes, I saw that a few of them anyway were speaking with their voices, but also with sign language so their friends could hear as well. That was all very cool, but the really nice part was when one girl who could obviously hear and speak got up to sing "Piece Of My Heart" by Janis Joplin on karaoke and one of her friends stood next to her and signed out the whole song. It was nice to see people who have a "handicap" not really having a handicap. They just speak a different language. One with their hands.
