An old man goes to his doctor and says, "I don't think my wife's
hearing is as good as it used to be. what should I do?"
The doctor replies, Try this test to find out for sure. When your
wife is in the kitchen doing dishes, stand 15 feet behind her and
ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, move about five feet
closer and try again. If she still doesn't respond, keep moving
closer, asking the question until she hears you."
The man goes home and sees his wife preparing dinner. He stands 15
feet behind her and says, "What's for dinner, honey?" No response.
He moves to ten feet behind her and asks again, "Honey, what's for
dinner?" Still no answer.
Finally he stands directly behind her and says, "Honey, what's for
dinner?"
She spins around him and shouts, "For the fourth time, I said
'chicker!' "
