A Sunday Funny for my Active Rain Friends !

By
Real Estate Agent with 16 Sunview Blvd

A friend just sent me this joke.  It has been around for awhile so for those who haven't seen this one and I have no clue as to the author !

  Subject: THE DEAF WIFE

  THE DEAF WIFE    A man feared his wife 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, "Honey, 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. "Honey, what's for dinner?"    (I just love this)   "Ralph , for the FIFTH  time, CHICKEN!"  

Have a fun Sunday !

Thanks for the Sunday Morning chuckle.  Had he said something else than what's for dinner, just to test her out and said something she shouldn't hear can you imagine that conversation?  Turns out he needs the hearing aid!  Good joke.

He's probably the only guy who stops for directions but remains lost because he didn't hear the directions -- LOL.
