A husband notices his wife hasn’t been answering him when he talks, so decides to talk 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 stands about 20 feet away and asks her; “Sweetie, what’s for dinner?”
No answer.
He walks closer and asks again; “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Still nothing. Now he's concerned.
He moves to just three feet away and asks her again. "What's for dinner?"
She turns to him and says, "Oh my goodness, pork chops. That's the third time I've had to tell you."
