Deaf Humor: Oppressed by a hoodie sweater

(Alex is wearing a black hoodie sweater with two strings)

A hoodie sweater like this one can be very oppressive. With the two strings, there are some incompatible signs.

HAPPY

(Alex signs, “Happy” and two strings fly up into his face)

ADMIT

(Alex signs, “Admit” and two strings fly up into his face)

SEARCHING

(Alex signs, “Searching” and his right thumb is entangled by a string)

Some signs cause your hoodie to squeeze into your face.

LIKE

(Alex signs, “Like” and the motion of the sign ends up pulling a string, causing the hoodie to close in around his neck)

OLDER

(Alex signs, “Older” and the motion of the sign causes him to grab a string, making the hoodie close in around his neck again)

FASCINATED

(Alex signs, “fascinated” while having his hood over his head and as he happens to grab both strings with his hands, the hoodie closes in around his face)

If I pull up the hood, it completely removes our peripherals.

(Short skit of Alex walking on a city street with his hood up. A man is waving at him, and he doesn’t notice at first because his peripheral vision is blocked. Alex then finally notices the man after a while and says, “Oh, hi!”)

It’s tough being deaf with a hoodie.
