Would give me away if I ever committed a serious crime. Think about it, all they'd have to do is notify the pharmacy chains, send out a bulletin of a deaf woman, 5 ft 6 inches, 130lbs (ok, 135 lbs), brownish, reddish hair, bluish, greenish eyes, big toothy smile... id be 3 states over and stop by to get diet coke and damnit, on my last hearing aid battery is dying! I'm on the run, trying to elude authorities.
Of course I couldn't listen to the radio, ya know to check in periodically on any news updates. Can't use a non traceable cell phone, same thing, too deaf to use it. Couldn't switch my accent and pretend to be "hearing", its a deaf voice all the way!
I use my hands too much between life and ASL, my fingerprints be all over the damn place. Everyone knows I'm a slob, so of course lots of evidence for "the man" to follow my trail.
Man, CSI sure does give a deafie a lot to think about. I used to major in criminology. I was very interested in learning why some people commit crimes and others don't. Then after a year and 5 classes later. I realized it was a depressing field to be in and knew that reading about it, and learning the theories is fascinating on its own. But real life wouldn't be as exciting or rosy.
