Hi guys,
The situation was regular.
Bill Thompson was a university graduate.That is probably why he got a good job soon after he left College.He was made barman in a private hospital for the deaf and dumb.
One day,or rather one morning ,he wanted to go to a party and asked me to do his work.
-I'm sorry,old chap-I said-but I can't!
-Why not?-he queried
-You see, I dont know the sign language.
-It's very simple-he said-the moment you open the bar at 6PM a few chaps will come in.They will make a sign for the glasses to be put on the table.All you have to do is to take the glasses and put them on the table.Next they will make a sign for whisky to be poured out into the glasses and for the money to be taken.If you're still worried you can have my phone number just in case.
I could not have said "no", so I said "yes".
I opened the bar at 6 and the moment I did so 6 fellows walked right in.They made the sign for the glasses to be put on the table.Next they made the sign for whisky to be poured out into the glasses.
I did what was asked of me.For the next 2 or 3 hours they kept making the signs for the whisky to be poured out and at last they got up to their feet ,opened their mouths and looked at me,smiling all the time...
I felt quite lost.I was wondering whether they wanted the whisky to be poured out direct into their mouths,but I could not take any chances.
I rushed to the phone,dialed Bill's number and told him what was going on.
-Set you mind at rest,old chap-he answered roaring with laughter-they've had too many drinks and are singing now!The situation is perfectly regular!
