A man is talking to the family doctor, “Doc, I think my wife’s going deaf.”
The doctor answers, “Well, here’s something you can try on her to test her hearing.
Stand some distance away from her and ask her a question.
If she doesn’t answer, move a little closer and ask again.
Keep repeating this until she answers.
Then you’ll be able to tell just how hard of hearing she really is.
” The man goes home and tries it out. He walks in the door and says,
“Honey, what’s for dinner?” He doesn’t hear an answer, so he moves closer to her.
