    Either you don't know how to read it, or if you do, you are about to die.

    It IS pretty funny, but unfortunately most of Congress has a house or apartment around D.C. and Prii are everywhere. They run into them alot and these types of hearings are actually happening.:(

    Jack,

    Are you saying that most of Congress must be blind as well? :D

    OK, that one got me laughing pretty good! :D

    The antidote for a sense of humor is reading congressional testimony at hearings. It is enough to make a grown man cry. If you read some of the prepared statements you realize that they are deaf as well as blind sometimes.

    Well...it's only been about 24 hours but it seems that my brainchild may never see the light of day.

    I was hoping for a warmer response from the PC community. The voters seem to be saying that there is no place in the world for such a creation. Odd how I don't seem to see many negative comments actually posted to the thread though. :eek:hwell:

    Could some members of the negative majority pipe up and let me know your thoughts? I'm just curious if my sense of humor is too far out there for the common good. :crazy:

    I'll still see if I can get a small batch printed up for anyone interested. Perhaps it could be some sort of ultra-exclusive club. THE COOLEST PRIUS CLUB EVER!!!:cool:

    For those of you who found the idea amusing enough to actually respond, I do thank you. I'm not so alone after all. :D

    Would you ship to Australia? I would be interested in buying one for sure.
    This is just my type of humour and a blind person can't take offence to it as they wouldn't see it and are unlikely to feel it.

    It would be handy around football umpires.
    Bring it on.

    Ok this is dumb. The only way this could work is if the braille is raised so when you hit the blind person, the blind doctor knows which part to fix.

    You'd have to write in braille backwards of course. You know, because of the mirror effect....

    I think the problem, David, is in your approach.

    Rather than making a bumper sticker for the blind, perhaps you should approach it by making a bumper sticker for the vision-enabled.

    IF YOU CAN READ THIS
    GET OUT OF THE WAY!

    I'm not sure if by football you are referring to soccer or Australian football.
    I am a soccer referee, and a baseball umpire; both of which make me blind by definition. I've always wanted to borrow a dog and a leader harness. I can only imagine the reaction if I walked out to the pitch with a leader dog, tied it up to the scoreboard, and then started the match.

    :clap2:
