Almost a funny headline; too bad the submitter's special ed class got its funding cut too.

Brilliant headline. That would be a great shirt, if I were so inclined to wear t-shirts with witty one-liners on them.

They only have to cut funding for the marching band and choir.

I'm sure they must have heard that something was in the works. I doubt this whole thing managed to sneak up on them silently.

 
wydok 2009-02-05 06:32:57 AM  
I'm trying to figure out why people this this is funny. "Bet they didn't see that coming" would be better if it was a school for the blind. It should be some pun about hearing. Unless subby did it on purpose...

Hmmm.

 
Falstaff 2009-02-05 06:33:30 AM  
You could have heard a pin drop at the school when the news was announced.

 
rulego66 2009-02-05 06:38:48 AM  
PA has three schools for the Deaf. I realize that Deaf identity is strongly tied to attendance at a residential school for the Deaf, but come on... I think three is overkill.

::looks at profile:: Wow, over 6 years being on here, 20 submissions approved, and you got snagged by this one? I bet you get baited by all the obvious trolls regularly, too.

Video replay shows that the headline was good.

I will now judge all who did not enjoy this headline very harshly.

See it coming...hear that train coming...it doesn't matter.

The point is mute.

You'd be surprised. They're deaf, not mute.

Great headline, subby. It's evolving into an IQ test for Farkers.

OK OK, I'm stupid. Now explain the damn headline.

Subby has rats in his or her belfry, watches hard pore corn.

I LOL'd. Good (mis)use of a meme, subby.

No Anne Frank, you know the deaf/dumb woman. Then that Miracle worker taught her how to communicate.

When "Fast Eddie" Rendell ran for governor the first time, he was not going to increase taxes. After taking office, he found out that he did not have the correct financial information and could not be held responsible for his campaign promises.
Why didn't the state schedule a special election so the public could vote based on accurate budget data?

And this politician is quoted as saying "I don't want to hear any whining".

They might get it, just not think it's funny. That's the thing, ya know. It's funny but not ha ha funny.

During his speech, he probably wanted to scream out, "TOLL EVERY ROAD!!!!," at least 75 times. That's his universal cure-all for all the state's ills.

 
siva 2009-02-05 09:16:52 AM  
kidddynamite: Strongly object!

I was just thinking yesterday about how implausible that movie is. Like a blind guy could ever drive a car with the help of a deaf guy, ha!
