Mr McGinty was 84 years old and his wife was having trouble hearing him. She was too proud to have to wear hearing aids so, every time he mentioned going to the doctor, she balked. So, finally, for her sake, Mr. McGinty went.
"Doc", he said "She doesn't hear me unless I'm right up on her. I can't convince her to come down here and see you."
"Well", replied the doctor, "then, we'll have to find another way to 'diagnose' her."
"You just stand about forty feet away from her and speak normally. If she can't hear you, move about ten feet closer. If that doesn't work, move about ten feet closer and so on, until she responds."
Mr. McGinty goes home, steps just inside the front door, which is about 40 feet from where his wife stands, at the kitchen sink and says: "Sweetheart? Whatch got fer dinner?"
No response.
He moves into the living room (about 30 feet away from where his wife stands) and says: "Sweetheart? What's for dinner?"
No response.
He moves ten feet closer (into the dining room) and says: "Hey, sexy! What's fer dinner?"
Nothing.
He steps into the kitchen (about ten feet away) and says: "Sweetheart, what are you planning for dinner?"
Finally, she turns around and says, sweetly: "FOR THE FOURTH FUCKING TIME: CHICKEN!!!!!!"
Peace and comfort,
Michael
