Ron feared his wife Peggy 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 forty feet away from her and, in a normal conversational tone, see if she hears you. If not, go to thirty feet, then twenty feet, and so on, until you get a response.'
That evening, his wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, I'm about forty 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 thirty feet from his wife, and says: "Peggy, what's for dinner?"
Still no response. Next, he moves into the dining room, about twenty feet away from his wife, and asks: "Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again he gets no response. So he walks up to the kitchen door, only about ten feet away: "Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her: "Peggy, what's for dinner?"
"For goodness sake, for the fifth time, chicken!"

Rico says this would be funnier if it weren't happening to him; his mother sends this, with the note: "I just love this":
