Joke of the day:

A climber was worried that his wife was losing her hearing and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure what to do, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor suggested a simple informal test that he could perform to test his wife's hearing loss. "Stand about 40 feet away from your wife," said the doctor, "and in a normal speaking voice ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." That evening, the climber's wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was watching TV in the family room. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." In a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the climber moved closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeated the question. Still no response. He then went into the dining room, where he was about 20 feet from his wife and asked the question a third time. Again no response. He then walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away from his wife and loudly repeated the question. Still nothing. Finally he walks up to her and calmly says, "Honey, what's for dinner?" "For the fifth time, we're having spaghetti," said the wife.
