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 conversational speaking tone sees 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!"
