Guy at my barber shop in Akron told me I could joke about my own hearing loss but not my brother's, and he was right
I tried a bit about my brother's cochlear implant at an open mic on Thursday and it landed like a lead balloon, but the deaf jokes about my own ears got real laughs, so where do you all draw the line on joking about a family member's disability?

Ha, that barber gave you solid advice honestly. So did the open mic crowd bomb because it felt like you were punching down, or was it more that people just didn't feel right laughing at a family member? Curious what the actual vibe was in the room.
