The blind teaching the blind...to drive
In Chicago schools, blind sophomores must take Drivers' Ed.
But don't mock the educrats. One never knows when a blind person may be called upon to drive.
At the afterparty to one of my weddings, after midnight when we had already left, the booze gave out, and the biggest lush in the place decided to go out and get some beer. To the young man's credit, he realized that he was too shitfaced to drive. So he asked the hostess' neighbor...who was blind. The idea was that John would sit behind the wheel while Dave called out "Left...right...stop..." Somehow his car keys "mysteriously disappeared", shortly thereafter he passed out on the kitchen floor, and all was good.
There was a case of this actually happening down in Amish country in OH, several years back. Blind drivers weave even more than drunks do.
(Tip 'o hat to Taranto.)
