Hearing Test

[smiler]

>> A man feared his wife was not 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 was in the kitchen cooking
>> dinner, and he was in the den. He said to himself,
>> "I'm about 40 feet away. Let's see what happens."
>>
>> In a normal tone he asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
>>
>> No response.
>>
>> So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 30
>> feet from his wife, and repeated, "Honey, what's for
>> dinner?"
>>
>> Still no response.
>>
>> Next he moved into the dining room where he was about
>> 20 feet from his wife, and asked, "Honey, what's for
>> dinner?"
>>
>> Again, no response.
>>
>> So, he walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet
>> away. "Honey, what's for dinner?"
>>
>> Again, there was no response.
>>
>> So he walked right up behind her. "Honey, what's for
>> dinner?"
>>
>> (I just love this.)
>>
>> "Earl, for the 5th time! CHICKEN!"
