A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she
used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid.
Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the
family doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told
him there is a simple informal test the husband
could perform to give the doctor a better idea about
her hearing loss. Here's what you do," said the
doctor, "stand about 40 feet away
from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone
see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then
20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking
dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself,
"I'm about 40 feet away, let's see
what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey,
what's for dinner?" No response.
So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen,
about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey,
what's for dinner?" Still no response.
Next he moves in to the dining room where he is about
20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for
dinner?" Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet
away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no
response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey,
what's for dinner?"
"Frank, for the 5th fucking time, CHICKEN!"
