I Just Love this, Thanks Keith!

Bob feared his wife Brenda wasn't hearing as well as

she used to and thought she might need a hearing aid.

Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family

Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the

husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea

about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet

away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone

see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and

so 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 Bob moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet

from his wife and repeats, 'Brenda, what's for dinner?'

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about

20 feet from his wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for 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. 'Brenda, what's for dinner?'

(I just love this)


'Bob , for the FIFTH darn time, CHICKEN!'
