An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem and decided to put her to the test.

One evening, he crept up on her while she was knitting in her favourite chair and whispered, Honey, can you hear me?

After no response, he moved closer and said a little louder, Honey, can you hear me?

Finally, he moved right behind her and said, Honey, can you hear me?

She turned around sharply. For the third time, yes!
