A real hearing problem

[Noclouds]

A concerned husband, worried that his wife's hearing was failing, called her doctor to have her ears checked. The doctor said he could only see her two weeks later, but there's a simple test the husband could do to get some idea of the dimensions of the problem.

"Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Start about 40 feet away from her, and speak in a normal conversational tone and see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

So that evening she's in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in the living room thinking, "I'm about 40 feet away ... let's see what happens."

"Honey, what's for supper?"

No response. So he moves to about 30 feet away.

"Honey, what's for supper?"

No response. He then moves into the dining room, about 20 feet away.

"Honey, what's for supper?"

No response. At the kitchen door, ten feet away.

"Honey, what's for supper?"

STILL no response. Finally, he walks right up behind her and says

"Honey, what's for supper?"

She finally screams, "For the fifth time, WE'RE HAVING CHICKEN!"
