A person who can’t speak wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one’s teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper, and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

Though if you chuck a bloke from a high altitude balloon, I believe the thinner atmosphere is thin enough to allow faster than sound speeds. (You wouldn't get a sonic blast though)
The current speed record for sky-diving is 614 mph (head down at high altitude) as compared with the speed of sound, which is 768 mph. However, I am pretty sure that the SoS is slower in less dense air, so you may be right. :dono:

Unless he were dumb as well, I would imagine he would just say, "Can I have a pair of sunglasses please?"

Change one letter in the phrase "French polish" so that it accurately describes a double Nobel laureate.
