Sorta weird that the clerk understood what the mute was telling him.
why would a lbind man what a pencil sharpener? What could he use a sharpend penicl for?
it coulda been a present for sum1, if the blind man wasnt that well off and coulndt afford a big thing or his wife could be pregnant and had cravings for pencil sharpenings or maybe he just liked sharpening pencils? Ill shut up now
I liked it Missie. Quite funny I found. I've said it before... Mog, you're a stirrer.
Come on Mog... you're telling me pencils are of *absolutely* no use to a blind man?
A blind man might use a pencil for prodding annoying people that laugh at teasers only because they cannot write their own
owch! ;)
Heehee, nice reply. *Ouch* indeed.

Haha oops, I got it wrong!!! Good teaser!!
Smart!
A friend gave me this one a few years back. I was stupid enough to not get it.
He didn't say the magic word 'please'! Anyway, I love easy teasers.
I like it but I don't know how he's supposed to use the sharpener.
