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 on the subject, 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 say something 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 closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife
and repeats,"Honey, what's for
dinner?"
Still
no response.
Next
he moves into the dining room where he isabout 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 10feet away. "Honey, what's
for dinner?"
Again
there is no response.
So
he walks right up behind her.
"Honey, what's
for dinner?"
(I
just love this............................)
"Ralph!,
for the FIFTH .... time, it's
CHICKEN!"
