Who is Deaf??!!
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?" The wife
answered with anger:
"For the fifth time, CHICKEN!!!"
