I recently ran across a blind person on yt where a few words were censored, substituting symbols for letters. To a sighted person, it is a visual pun. Ass, for example, the s is subbed in for the dollar sign, which looks like an s with a slash through it. But it made me curious, what puns do blind people use, and could you explain them?

I enjoy blind jokes. But sometimes they're a little hard to tell because people don't see the humor in them.
Though one I like is A guy walks into a bar He says ow

"omg you're legally blind? What happened?"
Me: Given the events of 2021, I decided I've seen enough.

Ouch. I can't decide to laugh hysterically or cry hysterically at that one.

I used to touch my SO's rear at length until she would ask what I was up to... "Just Staring"

LOL! That's a good one!

I heard it here I think!
reikipackaging [OP]3 points1y ago
Oh. This is my first time deleting a comment because I didn't like it, on Reddit. I said I told husband the joke and got a blank stare in response. I think it's hilarious, but he did not. So here I am explaining that I shared that and retracted it. Lesson learned.

(Specifically I use there with my friends who also have a nystagmus)
Are your eyes cold? because they are shaking! Omg our eyes are dancing together.
reikipackaging [OP]3 points1y ago
Tbh, I'm a nurse. I am used to nystagmus, and I (often innocently) ask why their eyes are dancing if I don't know them. I will absolutely use this on patients who know I know their nystagmus is because they're blind. I believe they will enjoy it.
Complex_Platform_9813 points1y ago
I love it! My parents often called it my “laser eyes” growing up. I would definitely add that to the list too.
reikipackaging [OP]3 points1y ago
As an aside, sighted people who are very nervous or are on certain drugs have nystagmus. I ask so that we understand each other.

That's one way cops test to see if you're drunk or not.
reikipackaging [OP]1 points1y ago
It is. Unfortunately, too many people with legitimate medical issues are presumed intoxicated. Same goes for diabetics and hypoglycemic; they can act drunk when they mostly need some urgent help.
