On helping others

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. He called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

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

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. In a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

No response.

The husband moves closer to the kitchen and repeats, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Still no response.

He moves into the dining room and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again he gets no response.

He walks up to the kitchen door. 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

To which she finally replies, "For the FIFTH time", CHICKEN!!!!'
