I once had somebody in the audience who I didn't know, who was talking quite loudly during the evening. Anyway< I could see people were getting a bit upset, so I decided it was time I said something. So I aksed the performer to hang on before doing the next song and the hall went quite. I then said in a farely loud voice. "Would you mind being quitwe, becuase other people are trying to listen. He looked at me a bit strange, so I said it again.
This time a lady who was his daughter, said Dad can you be quite. It was then I found out that he was literally deaf and didn't realise.

I felt bad about that,so I wnent over after the song and apologised and they just laughed and all wa sOK.

he didn't talk afeter that. LOL
