An elderly gentleman of 85 feared his wife was getting hard of hearing. So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing
checked. The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in two weeks. Meanwhile there's a simple informal test the husband could do to give
the doctor some idea of the state of her problem.
"Here's what you do," said the doctor, "start out 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's in the living room. 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 supper?"
No response.
So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for supper?"
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 supper?"
Again he gets no response.
So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?"
Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"
"Damn it Alvin, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!"
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says,
"Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact,
I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was farting because they didn't smell and are
silent."
The doctor says, "I see. Take these pills and come back to see me next week."
The next week the lady goes back and says "Doctor, I don't know what the heck you gave me, but now my farts, although still silent they
stink terribly."
"Good" the doctor said. "Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's work on your hearing."
