A LITTLE HUMOUR Henry and Martha had been married for many years and were now in their late 70s. Lately, Henry had become a little worried about Martha. He had noticed that she seemed to be losing her hearing, so he decided to conduct a little test to see just how bad her hearing really was. He stood about fifteen feet behind her in the kitchen and in his normal voice he asked her “Martha dear, what are we having for dinner?” There was no response. He moved a few feet closer and again he asked, “Martha dear, what are we having for dinner?” Again, there was no response. This time, he moved in closer so that he was about a foot behind her. In his normal speaking voice, he again asked, “Martha dear, what are we having for dinner?” Martha turned around to face him and with an exasperated look on her face, she said, “Henry! Have you gone deaf or something? For the third time now, we’re having roast beef!”
