Early Alert System

by Wayno & Piraro

Bizarro is brought to you today by Differently Abled.

If you are a blind person reading this post, I’d love to know how. Do you have a computer that speaks the words on the screen or is it a braille device that interprets what I’m typing now into little raised bumps on some exterior device? I don’t know if this kind of technology exists, but I wouldn’t be surprised and it should if it doesn’t.

If you do have this technology, I should explain the picture. It’s an optometrist’s office and the doctor is holding a paddle over one eye of a seeing-eye dog, while he is facing a typical-looking eye chart. But instead of random letters, the letters on the chart spell these words from top to bottom: bus, car, bike, puddle, banana peel.

If this technology does not exist, I just typed all of this for nothing.

Anyway, I hope you get a chuckle from this gag.
