What's For Dinner?

An old man decided his old wife was getting hard of hearing. 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, 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, what's for supper?" No

response. So he moves to
the other end of the room, about 30 feet away. "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, ten feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?"
STILL no response.

So he

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

"For the fifth time, CHICKEN!"
