  • The title is self-explanatory. It's one of the American Deaf culture's classical jokes.

    I've seen this story told by many and this is by far my favorite. You are a pretty masterful storyteller and artist. I recently watched the recording of a brilliant lecture you gave. Your students and university are incredibly fortunate to have you.

    I only wish I was able to understand what words are being signed here. I'm trying to learn ASL but, I don't have a lot of the words memorized yet and still working on the fast signing comprehension.

      @@tiagoguilherme9539 HINT: See the way she puts her hands to indicate yelling , then does finger-spelling? And that trees are falling all over the place?
      Then, near the end she signs "one" then for "deaf" (Index finger to ear then mouth) . . . Then the tree falls. . .
      See my comment a few minutes ago.

    I am hearing, an amateur comedian, took one ASL class, fascinated by deaf-culture, but understood enough (5%) of this to suspect that the premise is probably about "Yelling in ASL". Am I right?
    I was able to figure out the finger-spelling. . . .
    NO WAIT. . .
    Watched several more times. . .
    That one tree is deaf, right?
    So.
    It's NOT about yelling in ASL.
    It seems to be that instead of yelling, the lumberjack had to sign it. . Is that it???
    .
    Now *THAT'S* funny!!
    .
    PLEASE answer. . .
