story

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing 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 to 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
 
 
James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN
 
 
Moral of the story:
The problem may not be with the other one as we always
think, it could be very much within us
