a bonus friday funny because i liked this e-mail that i got from my uncle.









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 h is
> 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!"
>>
