An elderly guy believes his spouse is experiencing hearing problems. She declines his suggestion that she take a hearing test. He comes up with a scheme to support his claims.

He goes upstairs, turns on a recorder, and yells downstairs, “Honey, what’s for supper?” I did not respond. Once downstairs, he asks again, “Honey, what’s for supper?” Still no response.

Moving to the living room, he bellows, “Honey, what’s for supper?” once more. Not a reply. Finally, he yells, “What’s for supper?” from a position just outside the kitchen. Once more, no response.

“Honey,” he asks, standing just behind her. “What’s up for dinner?” With frustration in her voice, she turns around and exclaims, “Chicken, for the hundredth time, Al!”
