"My
wife says I'm hard of hearing. All husbands who have been around the block
a time or two, know it's called "selective hearing". I hear what I want
to hear. I can hear a trout rise. I can hear a spinner hit the water. I can
hear the drumming of a grouse at half a mile, but I danged well can't hear
her when she wants me to make the bed, or paint the house, etc. etc. I secretly
had my hearing tested just to be sure. The hearing doc says it is great,
a 7 % loss in my left ear and a 10% loss in my right. Very typical of anyone
who does a lot of hunting with a shotgun. But I'm not about to tell my
wife that."
