Deafness In The Family
A man says to his doctor, "I think my wife is going deaf, but I don't want to mention it. It'll be tactless and insensitive. Is there any way of checking, without her knowing?"
The doctor replies, "Choose a moment when she has her back to you. Say something in a normal voice and, if she doesn't answer, move a little closer and say it again. Then you'll get an idea about her hearing."
So, when he comes home from work, his wife is standing with her back to him in the kitchen. He asks, "What's for dinner, love?" but gets no answer.
He moves in a little closer. "What's for dinner, love?" he repeats. Again, no response.
He moves even closer. "What's for dinner, love?" Nothing.
By now, he's right behind her. He says again, "What's for dinner, love?"
She turns round and shouts, "For the fourth time - chicken!"
