LMAO. This is a joke, right? I can see the lawyers in court already:
'Your honor, may we have a listen at exhibit A(which is a piece of
silence) and exhibit B( which is also a piece of silence). Members of
the jury, do you hear the similarities?'
'Your honor, we want to file for a mistrial, since one of the jury
members is deaf'.

Yoonchi.
