Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid.

Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal 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. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'


No response.


So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'


Still no response.


Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again he gets no response.


So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again there is no response.

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


(I just love this)



'For F*-# sake, Bert, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'

Sounds like our house. He won't accept he doesn't hear things, says I whisper. Then he complains that I don't hear what he is saying. ( I have an OFF button !! ).

I have been thinking the same OFITG.

BuT!!

there was a guy that had problems.......(you know) and he found a wizard that taught him a spell to help him in the bedroom.(for a price) he had to take a small swig of elixir and shortly after say One, two. three........
and he would rise for the occasion as it were........
but this would only work once a month.......!!
however he asked how do I get back to normal?

just say one ,two, three, FOUR! the wizard tells him. but remember this potion only works once a month!!!

and so it came to pass that his better half was receptive, and so he goes into the bathroom has a swig and then gets into bed........

a minute or two later when all felt ready, he whispers under his breath........one,two three..........and indeed he was ready.........

at the crucial moment his wife says....oooh! ......thats' nice, ....but....what did you say one, two, three,........for?

There was the bloke who was one of sixteen children because he had a deaf mother.

"Do you want to go to sleep or what?"

"What?"
