Hearing Test

An elderly lady was concerned about her husband's hearing. It seemed that every time she would call him, he wouldn't respond.

The lady went to the doctor to ask his advice. The doctor said to her, "When you go home, tell your husband to stand at the end of the hallway, and you should stand at the other end.

Ask him what he wants for dinner. Continue to move closer toward him until he responds to your question, so you know exactly how far away he is from you when he can finally hear you."

She thought this sounded like a great idea. So when she got home, she placed her husband at the end of the hallway and yelled, "Herbert, what do you want for dinner?"

There was no response. She moved 10 feet closer and yelled it again. "Herbert, what do you want for dinner?"

Still no response. She moved another 15 feet closer and was now practically face to face with her husband.

She yelled ever louder this time. "HERBERT, WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR DINNER?!!"

Herbert yells back at her, "For the THIRD time, I want chicken!!!"
