An elderly man goes to the doctor

[leftstreet]

He's worried about his wife's hearing. He's sure she's deaf but doesn't want to offend her.

Doc says that hearing loss is natural and advises him to ask wife a question from 40 feet away. If she doesn't answer, move ahead another 10 feet and try again. Keep moving closer and we can figure out the extent of her hearing loss.

That night at home the husband is sitting in his easy chair. Wife is cooking in the kitchen and husband notes it's about 40 feet away. He calls out in a normal voice, "what's for dinner, honey?"

No answer.

He gets up and moves 10 feet closer. Tries again, "what's for dinner honey?"

No answer.

He moves another 10 feet closer and asks the same question. No answer. He tries again. And again.

Finally, he's within a foot of his wife, taps her on the shoulder and says to her face, "what's for dinner honey?"

She shouts:
"FOR THE FIFTH TIME: I said CHICKEN!"
