Speak up!

Have you laughed lately?

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 degree of hearing loss.

“Here’s what you do. Start about 30 feet away from her, and speak in a normal conversational tone and see if she hears you. If not, go to 20 feet, then 10 feet, and closer, 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 30 feet away, let’s see what happens.”

“Honey, what’s for supper?” No response.

So he moves into the dining room, about 20 feet away. “Honey, what’s for supper?” No response.

On to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for supper?” No response.

So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for supper?”

“For the FOURTH time, CHICKEN!!!!”
