Hearing test - THE "DEAF" WIFE PROBLEM..................

From My InBox:

THE "DEAF" WIFE PROBLEM THE DEAF WIFE PROBLEM Bert feared his Wife, Peg, wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid.  Not quite sure how to approach her with this problem, 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,  then 10 feet, and so on until you get a response.'   You can then report back to me and I can take the problem from there and your wife will be none the wiser about your little test.    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,  so let's see what happens.'    Then in a normal tone he asks,   'Honey, What's for dinner?' NO RESPONSE! So the Husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his Wife and repeats,   'Peg, What's for dinner?' STILL NO RESPONSE!! Next , he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and  again asks,   'Honey, What's for dinner?'    AGAIN, HE GETS NO RESPONSE!!! Being extremely concerned for her inabiliy to hear by now, he walks up to the kitchen door,   about 10 feet away and says,   'Honey Pie , What's for dinner?'    YET AGAIN, HE GETS NO RESPONSE!!!!     Absolutely worried sick by now regarding her total failure to hear him, he walks right up behind her and says,   'Peg Darling, What's for dinn    F*-#?? sake, Bert, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'
