A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought shemight need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called thefamily Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simpleinformal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea abouther hearing loss. Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feetaway from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hearsyou. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den.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 dinner?" No response.
So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response.
Next he moves intothe dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what'sfor dinner?" Again he gets no response so he walks up to the kitchen door,
about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" * * *
"James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!" Moral of the story:
The problem may not be with the other one as we always think, could be very muchwithin us..!
