is the total?

Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses
himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.

yay! i got them all right!

Yup this could drive a person crazy after a couple for sure.

I did better than I expected, I got the "Mary" one, but I have to thank lots of years of watching Groucho's quiz show and listening to that "Who's buried in Grant's tomb" question, or it would have thrown me.
