You know every year, there is a big event for football called SuperBowl.  They always have funny, cool, different ADs during the commericals.  11 months ago, Pepsi wanted to do a commerical that involved with Deafies in it.  It was aired during Pre-Game show. It is called Bob’s House.  It was cool…  It was based on a famous deaf joke/folkfore.

The deaf folkfore about a husband and wife and their house.

The original story goes here:

The husband and wife were looking for a new home. They went to the Army base area. The base were there but now gone. There were many houses that looked the alike. They looked around and found what they liked. They went in and saw what they liked. They decided to buy that house.

They were very excited on the first day they moved in. They got their stuff moved in. They talked how wonderful to own a home. They was like, “Wow…”

Later that day, the Husband told his Wife that he wanted to go out to the bar and have a few drinks… His wife insisted him to take the bicycle rather than taking the car.  It is safe that way.  He said ok.

He rode the bike all the way to the bar. He drank, and drank, and he proudly pondered about his new home. He was exhilarated. He had a good time and drank some more until he got drunk.

It was very late and it was dark. He walked drunkardly toward to his bike. He tried to stay on the track, but he couldn’t. He kept hitting something on his way.

The guy saw him like that. He felt bad. He asked him if he need ride home. He was too way drunk, and he told him that he is deaf.

Then he said, “Ok, I will drive you home.” The drunk Husband nodded and say “Ok.”

He started driving and it was very dark. The Husband told him where to go… It was his first time, so he was not sure. They tried to find their way to his home. Finally they found the base and entered.

The drunk Husband realized the houses looked alike. The driver said whixch one is your home? He shrugged and was not sure. He was trying to think where it could be… The driver asked him again. He shrugged again. He said he couldn’t remember. He told him that he just moved in today. He didn’t remember the house number.

But he has an idea. He just press the horn, it was enough loud. The driver was very embarrassed and not know what to do. But he saw the lights of the house start to turn on everywhere but saw only one house with no light on.

The husband laughed, and told him that that is my home. He nudged, saying that is my wife, she is deaf. He laughed drunkingly.

Then he took off the car and thanked the driver for the ride.

The driver stayed, unmotioned and in kinda of shock, wondering. He said, “Wow.”
