If you were to take a poll of a deaf and dumb society you would find out their opinions more easily than you would learn those of a state delegation to a national convention.

As he climbed out of the car he was arrested and charged with having stolen it. Dumb-founded over his mistake he pleaded innocense. The car he had rented had been stolen. When it was found it had gone 216 miles and the "U-Drive-It" people are now suing the Swiss scholar for a ride he did not enjoy. It hasn't been decided...
