The Halloween Prankster's Excuse

Last Halloween, I went dressed as a woman. When I rang the doorbell, an elderly woman opened it, and I made a grunting noise and knocked the bowl of candy out of her hands.

She immediately called the police and told them exactly what happened. The officer pulled me aside and asked me a few questions. First, he asked if my parents were here, and I said nothing. Concerned by my answer, he then asked if I was okay, so I said nothing. He asked me what my name was, and I responded, "Hellen Keller."

Listen up, numbskull. You dress up as a woman on Halloween, pull a prank on an old lady, and when the cops show up, you pretend to be Hellen Keller, who, if you didn't fail history, was deaf and blind. The joke is that you're using her disability as an excuse for your behavior. Get it now, or do I need to spell it out with alphabet blocks?
