A man decided his wife was getting hard of hearing so he made an appointment to have her hearing checked. The doctor told him he couldn't see her for two weeks but, in the meantime, the husband should perform a simple, informal test.
"Here's what you do," said the doctor.
"Start about 40 feet away from her, and speak in a normal conversational tone and see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening she's in the kitchen and he's in the living room. Standing 40 feet away, he begins the test.
"Honey, what's for supper?"
No response.
So he moves a little closer and says: "Honey, what's for supper?"
No response.
He comes closer yet and repeats the question.
No response.
Finally, he's at the kitchen door, 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?"
Still no response.
So he walks right up behind her and says: "Honey, what's for supper?"
She turns and says, "For the fifth time...CHICKEN!" |
