Iggy here:

Some old friends of mine used to say something similar...

"I see," said the blind man to his deaf wife.  (It usually meant that we
were saying we understood, but still didn't get it

Both sound like variations of a come back my Grandmother uses (and I suspect
comes from some sort of old poem, since the version I know scans well, and I
know there was about four more lines that went with it when she said the
whole thing...) The version she uses is:

"I see", said the blind man,  who could not see at all....
