I've always gotten the "burning bush" look, when people find out I'm deaf and I can actually speak.

Here's one from last week. I was talking to a USDA lady I work with at Tyson, and she said she could read lips, I said "really?" and she goes "yeah - if I can hear you!" I nearly fell over laughing. I said "well of course most hearing people can read lips if they can hear."

Hahahaha! I don't speak most of the time because of that look! It looks kind of like this...
