Harry, an old eighty year old drummer, told his doctor he was concerned his wife was getting deaf. His doctor suggested he try an experiment. The doc said for him, when his wife was not looking, to speak to her in a normal voice from about thirty feet away. If she didn't hear, then keep moving in closer until he determined when she could hear him. This would tell him the truth of the situation.
So a couple days later he realized his wife was out in the kitchen with her back turned about 30 feet away. So he says, in a normal voice, "What's for dinner dear?"
When she did not respond, he moved in closer to 20 feet away and asked again, "What's for dinner dear?" No response.
So he moved in closer, about 10 feet away and tried again, "Whats for dinner dear?" No response.
So next he moved up right behind her and still in a normal voice asked "Whats for dinner dear?"
And she said, " For the forth time Harry, we're having chicken!" |
