Hearing on a Funny Friday 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 An elderly gentleman of 85 feared his wife was getting hard of hearing.

So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her

hearing checked. The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in

two weeks, and meanwhile there's a simple informal test the husband

could do to give the doctor some idea of the state of her problem.

 "Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Start out about 40 feet away

from her, and in a normal, 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's in the living room. 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 supper?" No response.

 

So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from

his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for supper?" 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 supper?" Again he gets no response.

  

So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's

for supper?" Again there is no response.

 So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"

 "Damn it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!"

 


 

The sequel to that story is a typical conversation in my own household.

 

Virginia:  You’ll never guess what happened today!

 

Charles:  I’m sorry, between the TV and the running water, I couldn’t hear.

 

Virginia:  What

 

Charles    What

 

Virginia  What

 

Charles   What

 

Virginia   What

Charles, turning off the water and the TV asks, “I’m sorry, what did you say?”

 

Virginia:  “I don’t remember.”
