A husband notices his wife hasn’t been answering him when he talks, so decides to take her to the family doctor to see what’s wrong.
“Doc, I think my wife is going deaf,” he explains when they arrive.
It’s something the doctor has seen many times before and he comes up with a simple routine to test the wife’s hearing.
“Stand some distance away from her and ask her a question,” he tells the man. “If she doesn’t answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep doing this until she answers. Only then will we be able to tell how hard of hearing she really is.”
The man walks across the room and follows the doctor’s instructions.
“Sweetie, what’s for dinner?” he asks.
No answer.
He walks closer and asks again.
“Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Still nothing.
The man repeats this several times until he is standing right in front of his wife.
Finally, she answers him.
“For the 20th time, I said we are having chicken for dinner,” she screams.
