RIGHT ON..... A man (Hercu) feared his wife (Benu) wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, Hercu goes to his family Doctor (Dr. Tibrusio) to discuss the problem. Dr. Tibrusio told Hercu that there is a simple informal test that Hercu could perform to give Dr. Tibrusio a better idea about her hearing loss. Dr. Tibrusio: Here’s what you do, stand about 40 feet away from your wife and in normal conversational speaking tone and see if she hears you. If not go to 30 feet, then 20 feet and so on until you get a response. That evening Benu was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Hercu was in the den. Hercu: (says to himself) I am about 40 feet away now, let’s see what happens. Then in normal tone he asks: Hercu: Honey what’s for dinner? No response So Hercu moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats: H: Honey what’s for dinner? Still No response Next Hercu moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from Benu and asks: H: Honey what’s for dinner? Again he gets no response. So Hercu walks up to the kitchen, about 10 feet away from his wife. Hercu: Honey what’s for dinner? And yet again there is no response. So he walks right behind her: Hercu: Honey what’s for dinner? Benu: Listen Hercu, for the fifth time I have said PORK. And if you repeat that questioned one more time, then I’ll bang this pan right on your head. Cajetan de Sanvordem Kuwait.
