A concerned husband goes to see the family doctor...

[Emz]

A concerned husband goes to see the family doctor and says, "I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time I say something, in fact, I often have to repeat things over and over again."

"Well," the doctor replies, "go home and tonight and stand about 15 feet from her and say something. If she doesn't reply, move about five feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so we can get an idea about the severity of her deafness."

Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen and as she is chopping some vegetables, he says, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

He gets no response. He moves about five feet closer and asks again. No reply. He moves five feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"

How come he heard the doctor ok?

[Newt]

Women tend to have higher pitched voices than men.

 

Hearing loss from some causes is more pronounced in the higher frequencies. Shooting, for instance, affects hearing only at above 2kHz and is worst at around 4kHz.

 

So maybe she had a high voice and his deafness was from years of shooting without hearing protection.

 

Or something.

 

It was a joke, for goodness sake.

Now now, calm down Newt....

LOL - I am pretty calm Den. Haven't really gone into attack mode for months. Well, for weeks. OK, OK, not today anyway.

 

Emz - I liked the joke.
