Well, dumb is an awful choice. Nobody in their right mind would choose dumb.
Can't do blind because I love playing videogames, doing pc stuff, watching tv, etc.
Deaf I can't do because my biggest hobby is playing guitar and making music.

So, mute :P
I don't talk much anyway.
Plus, it would kind of be kickass to be mute.

I'd rather be mute. By a long run. I have to high of a mathematical talent to be dumb. I enjoy music with my heart too much to be deaf. I want to see my knowledge and read and understand with my eyes too much to be blind.

If I'm mute, I can still communicate by writing and expression. Only 10% of all real human communication is even speaking.

I'd be mute, then I'd have a genuine excuse not to answer people, not to mention I won't have to do anymore school speeches. Besides I'd think it'd be cool to write on a giant notepad. It's not really that much of a problem since I didn't start of as a mute, I can still make mouth movements to help with my communication.

Okay math wiz, we didn't need a lesson on it..... :P

I thought dumb and mute were the same thing? Oh well, I would definitely choose mute over deaf and blind, as I like those two senses because I like being aware of my surroundings. And I'm fairly good at miming out my feelings and thoughts, so it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

It's tough. I certainly wouldn't pick being dumb, I enjoy having my current level of intelligence. I wouldn't pick deaf, because then I couldn't hear music. Out of mute and blindness, I think I'd have to pick mute. Even though I enjoy singing in bands and all that I think that overall, being able to see would be more useful than being able to speak.

Mute, though it'd be hard. The hardest one for me would be blindness.. because I have and love doing art..

Mute. Given our advances in the field of voiceless communication, it's practically painless for a mute person to live their daily life. Being on the internet also plays a role as it is the haven to several outcasts who don't broadcast their opinions otherwise.

This is so hard and awful! I would never ever ever want to be deaf or blind, but I talk allllllllllllllllllllllll the time!

I shall choose mute because being deaf would be Hell and being blind would be more Hell.

I wouldn't pick blind, because I love being able to see people's faces, among other things. I wouldn't pick deaf, because I love listening to music. I wouldn't pick dumb because... yeah. Wouldn't want that. And I wouldn't really pick mute either.. but then again, I don't talk much unless asked, really. So since I have to pick one, I'll pick mute. Like Zeffy mentioned, I could just write down what I wanted to say.

I'd want to be deaf if I had to chose. I already really don't like sound much as it is so I may as well get rid of one of my main annoyances straight off. I wouldn't have music any more, but I wouldn't mind, it'd get rid of firework bangs and sirens on ambulances/police cars/fire engines. I'd be happy enough. I don't talk much, but I really think I've already been in my silent mode of life from when I was younger of not talking for a year and a half, so really I could manage that without being mute.

Blind is obviously the worst possible choice there as no one would ever want to loose there vision/ have panic attacks as you are not able to see anything (I'm surprised some one has pick blind, who would want to live their life in darkness?) I would pick Mute so TV is still an option, and I like Writing anyway :P

Mute, because I would never want to lose my sight and hearing.
