Hearing Problem

 

An old man decided his old wife was getting hard of hearing. So he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked.

 

The Doctor said he could see her in two weeks, and

meanwhile there's a simple, informal test the husband

could do to give the doctor some idea of the dimensions

of the problem.

 

"Here's what you do. 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, then 20 feet,

and so on until you get a response."

 

So that evening she's in the kitchen cooking dinner,

and he's in the living room, and he says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens."

 

"Honey, how long 'til supper?" No response.

 

So he moves to the other end of the room, about

30 feet away. "Honey, how long 'til supper?" No response.

 

So he moves into the dining room, about 20 feet away.

"Honey, how long 'til supper?" No response.

 

On to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey,

how long 'til supper?". No response.

 

So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, how long 'til

supper?"

 

"For the FIFTH time, TEN MINUTES!!!!"
