ASL Joke: The Cat

[katiekadoodles]

Hello again! I'm currently in an interpreting program in MD. My teacher/classmates really enjoy this video. We're hoping to use this video as a model for one of our projects. We'd like to communicate about this more. Would you mind sharing with me your personal e-mail? You can send it to sni770018@email.ccbcmd.edu. Thanks so much, hope to hear from you!

I have a quick question for you; more of a clarification. The first time the man gets in the car he turns to the cat and says "soon you will" or "cat knows." Please help! Thanks so much! :-)

@katiekadoodles: it was just one of those "under your breath" mumblings in ASL equivalent... as in "you cat... I'm gonna... grrrr."

*thows tomato*

Im not comedian, but i would have liked to seen the cat, itself, email the phone, with a picture of itself grooming.

yes i know, everyone is a critic.

[MyHappyHands]

**catches tomato**

yeah, that would have been good....  ah well, the critics never win anyway :)

[fakecloud]

Could someone translate the joke to text for me? I am not as fluent in ASL and I understand most of the story but at the end I got confused.

thanks

Guy tries to ditch his wife's annoying cat... each time traveling farther and farther from home. Every time the cat navigates his way back to the house & even beats the man home! Finally, the man drives far away and takes an impossibly confusing route to ensure the cat will be lost and never return home. He, himself, gets lost on the way back and texts his wife and asks her if the cat was at the house. She replies yes, and he proceeds to ask if the cat can give him directions back home.

@MyHappyHands Yeh I got it!!! I too am not as fluent in ASL as I would like to be, so when you translate it is great and then I get to see if I understood it. (which is all too rare!) I have to give a presentation for class so I was hoping to understand and "steal" one of your jokes. Albeit, I will never be able to give it the justice that you do. Thanks for your jokes! They are fun and challenging for ASL students.
