Deaf Wife
Posted: April 27th, 2009, 7:05 pm
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 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 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?"
"Ralph , for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!"
