That's awesome. I think its great when someone with a disability gives me sass or tells a great joke even at their own expense. It really opens up good oportunities for jokes. I saw that same blind friend today and he hit me with his cane. I told him, "you do that again and Im gonna take it from you and beat your ass......and you aint gonna see it comming!" A few months back I made the whole world stop too. He was in our commons, and I walked up to him, smacked the cane out of his hands, and yelled a bunch of obsenities at him. Everything was quiet and no one moved, all eyes were on us! We both started laughing, and walked off to get coffee.
I think it depends on the blind person. I have a friend that is blind, and I talk shit to him and laugh at his expense all the time. But he always gets me back. The other day I told him I was going to cut down on my drinking, he replied, "I'll believe that when I see it." The cheeky fucker!
Perhaps the man trained seeing eye dogs prior to going blind, upon successful training of this particular dog, he recieved a traumatic brain injury that affected only the occipital lobe causing his blindness. Rather than try and find a dog from another trainer, he chose to keep the dog that he already trained.
The dogs are on such a routine from the time they are puppies that there is no worry of a seeing-eye dog defecating in public places, therefore there is not much need for picking up the feces.
