My Deaf Wife
I finally talked to the family doctor. "Doc, I think my wife's going deaf."
The doctor answers, "Well, here's something you can try on her to test her hearing. Stand some distance away from her and ask her a question. If she doesn't answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep repeating this until she answers. Then you'll be able to tell just how hard of hearing she really is."
So I go home and try it out. I walk in the door and say, "Honey, what's for dinner?" I don't hear any answer, so I move closer to her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no answer. I repeat this several times, until I am standing just a few feet away from her.
Finally, she answers, "For the eleventh time, I said we're having MEATLOAF!"
