> There was an elderly gentleman who feared his wife was getting

> So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have

> The doctor made an appointment for a hearing

> of her problem.

> Here's what you do," said the doctor, "start out 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's in the
> living room. 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 supper?" No
> response.
>
> So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feetfrom
> his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for supper?" 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 supper?"
> Again he gets no response.
>
> So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's
> for supper?" Again there is no response.
>
> So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"

> (I just love this!)
