To Mute or Not to Mute

So, I caught a really bad cold, which has resulted in me losing my voice. Well, because of this adventure and plenty of free time to myself on my hands (being able to speak up to only a whisper isn't conducive to social interaction), I started to ask myself...

...if I were to physically lose my ability to speak, would I get one of those disgusting talking devices implanted into my throat like those unfortunate smokers, or would I just stay mute?

Well, I decided I would stay mute. I wouldn't bear 1) having that disgusting looking device attatched to my throat, and 2) having that voice it gives you. So, even though not being able to speak would probably be incredibly lonely, I would still do it. And probably learn sign language.

What would you do?

  1. I'd get a whole bunch of poignant and oft-relevant signs like Wile E. Coyote has.

    Or I'd pimp my ride with a Stephen Hawking-style voice machine.

    Or I'd just have a little light that blinks once for yes and twice for no.

    Or I'd learn telepathy.
