If a deaf man knows sign language, and signs a cuss word, Does his mother wash his hands with soap?

Question

Just a question I got asked today....I want to see what kind of reasoning you guys can make of it.

Answer 1

lol ! good one. well, it seems correct to me. why wash out his mouth, he didn't speak it! good ones tonight gang, keep them coming!

Answer 2

first of all, how old is this deaf man? this makes a difference, but only as to whether or not he should be living with his mom.
i don't think that his mother would wash his hands with soap or any alternate punishment because nobody seems to care much today anyways whether or not their children cuss. in fact, it's kind of understood that once you reach a certain age, you can cuss like a sailor and nobody will (or should) reprimand you. i disagree, but most people don't.
possibly, if his mother were a christian lady, she would think up some way to discourage his behavior, but i don't think it would be washing hands, seeing as people do that on a more than daily basis. maybe instead it would be "sign the alphabet while doing push ups!"

Answer 3

I'm English

By Gad, Sir.

Over here, if we want to hitch a lift we stand on the side of the road, hold you hand up in a fist but with your thumb sticking out.

I've no idea what you Americans do - probably something completely different, because you're American.
I mean, fancy spelling "colour" without a "u".

Anyways, many years ago I was in the Middle East and was trying to bum a lift. I stuck my thumb out and three cars screeched to a halt. I thought, "Wow! That was quick. Must be my good lucks!" but the three drivers came over to me shouting and screaming in some funny language. Didn't have a clue what was going on till a 4th one joined in who spoke a little English.

He told me that sticking your thumb out means something completely different in their country and I was very lucky I wasn't lynched.

I never did find out exactly what it meant but after that - I walked!

Answer 4

This is a silly question, but if you care to ask, then I shall answer. I am deaf and my mother would be much happier if the rest of my family would sign their cuss words instead of screaming them. And my hands usually got slapped, not washed...

Answer 5

Well, I guess it is like having your mouth washed out with soap if you can speak. His hands are his communication, so yes I guess his Mother would wash his hands after cussing.

Answer 6

Good question. Just like "how do you handcuff a one armed man?" I don't know. Probably not, but anything can happen and if a parent doesn't want their kid to sign profanity, I guess they can do whatever they want. It depends on if his mom wants to do it or not.

Answer 7

Im a Leo and it says I attraction to a Capricorn even as right down to earth, accountable, unswerving Capricorn meet you, they have met their adventure. you're as moral as Capricorn, and they appreciate your values. you're also in a position to be a unswerving and being concerned significant different for your Capricorn, even even as circumstances are difficult. you're there to cheer up or encourage your Capricorn - which in no way is going unappreciated.

Answer 8

Well, may be she ties them together so that he can't sign for a while. That'll teach him to sign cuss words.

Answer 9

Rolling on the floor laughing my ******* *** off!
I dont think so. Since washing his hand wouldnt inflict pain (or a nasty taste)..I think his mother would wash his mouth out.

Answer 10

No, she signs an angry response telling him that was bad, and then when he goes to answer, she holds his hands tight so he cannot say anything.

Answer 11

No, she sticks the soap in his ears to wash his brain for thinking of that.
