 A man goes to the doctor and complains that his wife can’t hear him.

"How bad is it?" the doctor asks.

"I have no idea," the husband says. "She just never seems to hear me!"

"Well, please test her," the doctor suggests. "Stand 20 feet away from her and say something. If she doesn’t respond, step 10 feet closer and try again, and keep moving in until she hears you."

So, the husband goes home, ready to test it. He stands 20 feet away from his wife in the kitchen and says, "Honey, what’s for dinner?"

No answer.

He moves 10 feet closer and asks again, "Honey, what’s for dinner?"

Still no answer.

He moves 10 feet closer again, now only 5 feet away, and asks, "Honey, what’s for dinner?"

Still nothing.

Finally, he moves right behind her and yells, "HONEY, WHAT’S FOR DINNER?!"

She turns around, looking surprised, and says, "For the fourth time, I said, CHICKEN!"
