I'm not deaf!

Luke 1:62 - Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.

I wonder why the people thought they had to use sign language to communicate with Zechariah. He wasn't deaf; he was dumb. Perhaps it was out of a sort of respect for his handicap, but I think more likely it was sheer forgetfulness.
