I don't know that Flip, I wear thongs in summer, that's where my Flip is from!

Remember a tv-show, where a white guy put some black shoe polish on his face to understand racism better. Of course people shunned away for other reasons than racism. But could be fun to do something similar with deafness. Massive ear phones, gestures and breathing helium prior to talking to the victim. LOL.
