A man goes to the doctor

A man goes to the doctor, concerned about his wife’s hearing.

The doctor says, “Stand behind her and say something and tell me how

close you are when she hears you.” The man goes home, sees his wife

in the kitchen, cutting carrots on the countertop. About 15 feet away

he says, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Nothing. He gets halfway to her and

repeats the same question. Nothing. Very concerned, he

gets right behind her and asks again “What’s fo

r dinner?” She turns around and says “For the THIRD time, beef stew!”
