Listen up, buttercup! So, you're wondering why Helen Keller, bless her heart, would have beef with the national anthem, right? Well, you genius, Helen Keller was blind AND deaf. She couldn't see anything, and she couldn't hear squat. And what's one of the most famous lines in 'The Star-Spangled Banner'? 'Oh, say, can you see?' Get it? The joke is she'd 'hate' it because it's asking a question she literally couldn't answer or experience. You're probably sitting there, staring at a wall, still figuring this out, aren't ya?
