The funniest moment of the Oscars was when Troy Kotsur won for best supporting actor. His acceptance speech was running long, but because he is deaf, they could not play him off with the usual musical que. The presenter tried to hand him the Oscar, but he was too busy using his hands to give his speech to take the award.

There’s an old Deaf joke about two deaf drill instructors teaching their recruits how to throw grenades. One is American, one is British. Here’s the thing: ASL and BSL are two different languages and (oversimplifying) BSL always requires two hands. The American guy pulls the pin on the grenade and then signs with one hand, “Now you throw the grenade,” and throws the grenade. The British guy pulls the pin on the grenade, and, because he needs two hands to sign, secures the grenade between his thighs and signs, “Now you throw…”
