"For example, I am profoundly hearing-impaired. I wear hearing aids, but they don't provide the sort of wonderful correction that most people get with glasses. In order to help my students understand the limitations on my hearing, even with hearing aids, I tell them that my hearing aids help me hear about as well as their great-grandmother's walker helps her jog.
Believe it or not, one student a few semesters ago actually complained that I was mocking the handicapped, and that she didn't appreciate my joking at the expense of people who use walkers. "
Unreal.
College students, in general, are not very bright anymore.
