The“Deaf”Wife “耳聋的”妻子
A man is talking to the family doctor. “Doctor, I doubt whether my wife's going deaf.”
The doctor answers, “Here’s something you can try on her to test her hearing. Stand some meters away from her and ask her a question. If she doesn't answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep repeating this until she answers. Then you'll be able to tell if she is deaf or not.”
The man goes home and begins to test his wife's hearing.
He stands by the wall and says, “My dear, what's for dinner?”
He doesn't hear an answer, so he moves closer to her.
“My dear, what's for dinner?” Still no answer.
He repeats this several times, until he's standing just a few feet away from her.
Finally, she answers,“For the eleventh time, I said we're having meat and rice!”
