Hard of hearing?

[foehn]

An elderly gentleman 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 and
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 Dinner?" 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 Dinner?" Again he gets no response. So he
walks up to the kitchen door, only 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?"

She screams,"Damn it RALPH! For the fifth time, CHICKEN!"

An elderly husband and wife noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be dangerous, as one of them may accidentally forget to turn off the stove and thus cause a fire. So, they decided to go see their doctor to get some help.

Their physician told them that many people their age find it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this sounded wonderful, and left the doctor's office very pleased with the advice.

When they got home, the wife said, "Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don't you write that down so you won't forget?"

"Nonsense," said the husband, "I can remember a dish of ice cream!"

"Well," said the wife, "I'd also like some strawberries on it. You better write that down, because I know you'll forget."

"Don't be silly," replied the husband. "A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!"

"OK, dear, but I'd like you to put some whipped cream on top. Now you'd really better write it down now. You'll forget," said the wife.

"Come now, my memory's not all that bad," said the husband. "No problem, a dish of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream."

With that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise inconsistent with his preparing a dish of ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. He emerged from the kitchen about 15 minutes later.

Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of bacon and eggs. The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, "Hey, where's the toast I asked for?"
