The Blind Leading the Blind Leading the Blind Leading the Blind…..

While I was at work today on the way back to the station we passed a woman with a blind woman who had a seeing eye dog walking down the street….shortly after that we got a call, which we ran, finished at the hospital, and was once again on the way back to the station.  We pass the same spot and across the street we see the same two people!  Not a block away, across the street!!

So I put some thought into this and I think I’ve figured out what could make someone move that slow at the rate of about 20 feet an hour and I think I’ve figured it out.

A blind person is at a slow pace because of the seeing eye dog, so since the seeing eye dog is moving slow that means that it is using a seeing eye Chihuahua .

The Chihuahua has poor eyesight too so its got a seeing eye rat.

The seeing eye rat has a seeing eye bird.

The seeing eye bird had a seeing eye fish. And that’s where the problem lies.

Because a seeing eye fish doesn’t lead very well on land, unless you were carrying it in a bowl and even then it couldn’t signal very well. 

Not to mention that its common knowledge that fish don’t make decisions by themselves well so it would of course be a committee decision…and it would likely be betta fish so they would just fight when they got together in a group…much like a real committee now that I think about it.  So everything slows to a crawl and it leads to the person screaming along the road like a herd of turtles at the top speed of 20 feet an hour.

So there you have it.
