What's for dinner?
What's for dinner?
Art feared his wife was not hearing as well as she
used to, and he 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 Art that there is a simple informal test he 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 Art was in the
den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away. Let’s see what happens." In
a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what’s for dinner?"
No response.
So Art 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 into the dining room where he is about
20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again, 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 and says loudly,
"Honey, what's for dinner?"
"Art, for the 5th time, CHICKEN!"
