Hearing Test

Concerned that his wife was experiencing some hearing loss, Al
consulted a doctor. The physician suggested a simple test to
determine how bad the problem was.

That evening Al found his wife at the stove, her back to him. "Hi,
honey," Al said in a normal speaking voice. "What's for dinner?" No
response.

He took a few steps in, as the doctor advised, and said again, "Hon,
what's for dinner?" Still nothing.

Stepping up directly behind his wife, he leaned forward and loudly
repeated, "What's for dinner?"

His wife spun around. "For the third time--MEAT LOAF, you deaf
bastard!"
