What's For Dinner?

Saul feared his wife Sara 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 Saul there is a simple informal test he could perform to give the doctor a better idea of Sara's hearing loss. “Here’s what you do,” said the doctor, “stand about 40 feet away form her, and in a normal conversation speaking tone see if she hears you.  If not, got to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.” That evening, Sara is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and Saul is 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. He moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “What’s for dinner?” Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room about 20 feet from Sara and asks, “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 he gets no response. So he walks right up behind her.  “Sara, what’s for dinner?” “ For @#$%'s sake, Saul, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!” (courtesy of my brother Peter)
