They deserve some flak. Mocking the disabled is pretty devilish. Imagine a carol for the deaf and blind: do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I see?

Rudolph the gimpy reindeer?

Health care workers can get pretty desensitized to what they deal with every day. This kind of humor should stay in the break room.

[Redleg Duke]

Bull Crap! The problem with our society is that we have lost the ability to laugh at ourselves. We are so totally obsessed with unearned self-esteem and political correctness, that we cannot accept reality.

These mental health care workers need humor as a release from the stress of taking care of those with whom society cannot be be bothered. Actually, these are funny because there is a strong element of truth in them.

I respectfully suggest that you lighten up. You may think that being "outraged" by this makes you a better person, but it really only points out that you are humorless and sad little black hole in society.

This wasn’t written by the health-care workers.

It was put together by the patients!

Health care workers can get pretty desensitized to what they deal with every day.

True story:

My wife is a Therapist and works with developmentally disabled children. She was working with a mildly severe young boy whose real name is "Einstein". One day while working with a new colleague they were treating this boy (the new person had not heard his name), my wife exclaimed:

"Good job.......... Einstein!"

The look on the new person's face was one of utter disdain, as she thought my wife was being sarcastic to the boy.

Imagine a carol for the deaf and blind: do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I see?

I take it you don't sing "O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING" very often.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.

And THEN it gets politically incorrect:

Awake from guilty nature’s sleep,
And Christ shall give you light,
Cast all your sins into the deep,
And wash the Æthiop white.
