Chapter 9

This chapter was about jokes and how jokes are so different in ASL and English. The book says that real deaf humor is visually based and that you would really have to have a strong background in ASL to find the humor funny. The book talks about different jokes that kids will do to one another and it would make no sense to a hearing person. It speaks about ASL humor as playful and very exaggerated.
