How do blind people know when their food is off?

Juicyfruit

Ok, so I've just opened a natural yogurt I bought the other day only to realise that it's past it's use by date - now looks more like cottage cheese than yogurt, needless to say it's gone straight in the bin.

But anyway, it lead me to wonder.. how do blind people know when their food is out of date? Aside from the obvious smell of rotting food or whatever, but surely they'd have to taste it to know whether it was off or not?

Anyone?

And yes, I do have a weird thought process.

How do blind people know when their lights are off?

Eh... the smell would be an indicator...

You just answered your own question there!

Heightened sense of smell, those lucky blind people with their superpowers..

Obviously, blind people see the world like the matrix.

Nothing but green lines of code and red lines for.....eh.......gone off stuff.

They can't. That's why they wear dark glasses, to hide the tears that result from never having eaten a fresh yoghurt. They also bring a dog around with them to eat the stale food.

Like I said, aside from the smell.

For instance, there was no smell from the yogurt, I knew it was off by looking at it.

So I suppose it I were blind I would have had to taste it and from the looks of things, I doubt it would have been a pleasant experience.

How do blind people know if their hand is actually their hand :rolleyes: blind people have other senses to detect rotting food, I doubt a blind person will finish an entire gone off meal and then say to himself "God Damn you Satan!! If only you hadn't stolen my eyes I would of been able to adequately and effiecently identify whether my food is out of date... God Damn you!"

OMG, you thought of something a little different, aren't you just precious.

Normal sense of smell should tell if food is off as well.

But, maybe they leave them on!

How would they see the ESB bill to see how much it is?

How would they know how much money they are giving away?

What if a blind person was in here right now? Would they know we were talking about them?

Why would they turn them on in the first place, testing the old blind vs too dark to see theory?

Well, usually you agree on a safety word before hand. So instead of 'no, no, no more' (which might be part of your play), you say some out of context word like 'butterfly' and that means no more, stop immediately. But I'm guessing if you are going to a blind person for that sort of thing, then you should start of with some spanking first and then work you way up.

Definition of cruelty:

Breaking into a blind persons house and rearranging their furniture and all the food in the kitchen!

I slept with a blind girl once & do you know what? She was so normal - I didn't have cut her toast into soldiers for her, or attend to her in the toilet. Fancy that. :rolleyes:

Smell is a better indicator.

But how do blind people know they are blind. They can't smell or hear their blindness. Answer me that!

A blind man walks into a restaurant and sits down.

The waiter, who is also the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but I am blind and can't read the menu. Just bring me a dirty fork from a previous customer, I'll smell it and order from there."

A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the blind man's table and hands it to him.

The blind man puts the fork to his nose and takes in a deep breath.

"Ah, yes, that's what I'll have, meatloaf and mashed potatoes."

Unbelievable, the owner says to himself as he walks towards the kitchen.

The cook happens to be the owner's wife and he tells her what had just happened. The blind man eats his meal and leaves.

Several days later the blind man returns and the owner mistakenly brings him a menu again.

"Sir, remember me? I'm the blind man."

"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I'll go get you a dirty fork."

The owner again retrieves a dirty fork and brings it to the blind man.

After another deep breath, the blind man says, "That smells great; I'll take the macaroni and cheese with broccoli."

Once again walking away in disbelief, the owner thinks the blind man is screwing around with him and tells his wife that the next time the blind man comes in he's going to test him.

The blind man eats and leaves.

He returns the following week, but this time the owner sees him coming and runs to the kitchen.

He tells his wife, "Mary, rub this fork on your panties before I take it to the blind man."

Mary complies and hands her husband the fork back.

As the blind man walks in and sits down, the owner is ready and waiting.

"Good afternoon sir, this time I remembered you and I already have the fork ready for you."

The blind man puts the fork to his nose, takes a deep whiff and says, "Hey, I didn't know that Mary worked here?"

Did you at least help her into the shower so she could scrub herself vigorously? I'd say she got quite a shock.

Why do television stations think that deaf people only watch TV in the middle of the night?

Apart from me one with the eyebrows doing sign language on news for the deaf, the only time you'll see programmes with the little person doing sign language in the bottom right hand corner of the television is at 4/5am.

Why like? Do they think deaf = insomniac?

It's probably worth pointing out that blind people are blind.

Blind does not equal stupid and does not prevent them from reading threads on boards.
