A funny story...

“A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to & 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 was a simple informal test the husband could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss.

“Here's what you do,” said the doctor, “stand about 40 feet away from her, & in a normal conversational-speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, & so on until you get a response.”

That evening, the wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, & he was in the den. He said to himself, “I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.”

Then in a normal tone he asked, “Honey, what's for dinner?”

No response.

So the husband moved to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife & repeated, “Honey, what's for dinner?”

Still there was no response.

Next he moved into the dining room where he’s about 20 feet from his wife & asked, “Honey, what's for dinner?”

Again he got no response.

So he walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what's for dinner?” he asked.

Again, there was no response.

So he walked 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 very much be within us!”
