It is Friday, time for another hairy dog tale... thanks Salen for this one!

A man feared his wife 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, 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 innormal 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 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?"

(I just love this...)
