Hearing Problem

An old man was worried about his wife's hearing. One morning he was having
coffee with the town doctor.

'I'm concerned about my wife's hearing, Doc. Anything I can do for her?'

The doctor replied, 'How bad's her hearing?'

He said, 'What do you mean? How do I judge that?'

The doctor said, 'Well, go home and find out how far away from her you have to be before she hears you. That will give us an idea of how bad her
hearing is.'

So the old man went home. The windows of his house were open and he could smell the dinner that his wife was cooking. Knowing she was in the
kitchen, he yelled, 'HONEY, I'M HOME. WHAT'S FOR DINNER?' He listened for her reply . . .Nothing.

So he went to the screen door at the front porch. 'HONEY I'M HOME. WHAT'S FOR DINNER?' He listened . . . still he heard nothing.

He stood in the doorway of the kitchen. 'Honey I'm home. What's for dinner. . . again he heard nothing.

'Poor girl, he thought.' He walked over to her at the stove, embraced her from behind and said, 'Honey, I'm home. What's for dinner?'

She slammed down a pan on the stove and said, 'For the fourth time . . . macaroni and cheese!'
