Facts
of Life
The
Telephone was originally invented by Alexander Graham
Bell for visual speech conversion for his wife who was
hard of hearing.
Try not to use the word "handicap". It was born
as a result of the English Parliament passing a resolution
that it was permissable for soldiers returning from the
Crimean War to beg on the streets of London with "cap-in-hand".
