If you had to pick between being blind or deaf, which would it be?
What's more important, seeing or hearing?
Eye.
Ear.
Eyear.*
Well, the very first thing God said was "Let there be LIGHT," not "Let there be SOUND."
So that could indicate where HIS priorities lay.
Video.
Deity.
Videity.
Of course, he did SAY it audibly, which means there already WAS sound, AND the lights were powered by it (the earliest voice activation system on record).
Audio.
Dios.
Audios.
Back to square one.
But the thing that's most clear is this:
no one cares about the plight of people who can't smell (the smell-less?).
They don't even have their own word like "deaf" or "blind" (and putting "smell" and "less" together would have three L's in a row, which isn't even allowed).
And no one is even talking about this disrespect. Until now.

* "Eyear" is the sound one eventually makes when confronted with this hypothetical decision.
(Which is an unpleasant one, and could potentially tip the balance towards the selection of deafness, so as to not have to hear it?)
Aurality.

Mirrorschach
Mirror.
Rorschach.
Mirrorschach.
Trying to find meaning in one's own reflection.*
e.g. "I see someone who is alone, confused, left-handed."
OR
"I see an ink blot."
"That's because your pen is leaking all over you."
"Oh man, I can't do anything right... hey, this is accurate."
OR
"I see emptiness."
"That's an open window, not a mirror."
"Phew. I didn't think I was empty. Now let's go watch American Idol."
OR
"I think I see a bat."
"That's why you're here. You are a crazy person who believes he is a bat."
"Right! I'm a bat, and you're Dr. Dolittle. That's how we can communicate."
"Let's communicate about how you could see your reflection, yet bats are blind."
"You must have cured me of my blindness! Now I am a super-powered bat! I will rule the bat world, for in the country of the blind, it is the magically-sighted bat that is king!"
"Um. Okay. Let's try this then...Magic Bat, you also have the power to take human form."
"Like a vampire?"
"Sure, like a vampire."
"But vampires can't see their reflections either."
"Hmm. Good point. So, you must be a super-powered vampire bat who has all the powers and abilities of a human. You are free to walk among them, but you must never reveal to them your secret."
"Thank you, Dr. Dolittle! You have provided me with a new purpose. I will infiltrate the human world and live as one of them. I will lie in wait for centuries, and then..."
"Good. I think we've made a lot of progress here. I'm retiring."
"Wait, one last thing--will a wooden stake to the heart still kill me?"
"Yes, a wooden stake to the heart is deadly to the human as well as the vampire. So even with your amazing human abilities, be careful."
"Toodles!"
* One of the reasons that vampires are solipsists.
