The Old Couple and the Hearing Aid

An old couple, George and Martha, are sitting on their front porch rocking in their chairs, watching the sun go down like they have every evening for the past 40 years.
George turns to Martha and says, “You know, Martha, I’m proud of us. All these years, through thick and thin, we’ve stuck together.”

Martha smiles sweetly and replies, “What was that, dear?”

George raises his voice, “I said—I’m proud of us!”

Martha squints. “You’re… proud of the bus?”

“No! US! YOU AND ME!”

“Oh!” she says. “Well that’s nice. I’m proud of the bus too, though. It’s always on time.”

George sighs, shakes his head, and mutters, “I told you to get those hearing aids checked.”

Martha waves a hand, “Nonsense. I hear just fine.”

Next day, they go to the doctor’s office to finally get Martha’s hearing tested. After some time, the doctor comes out and says, “Well, good news—Martha’s hearing can be helped with a new state-of-the-art hearing aid. But it’ll cost about $3,000.”

George nearly falls out of his chair. “Three thousand dollars?! Does it come with surround sound and a Spotify subscription?”

But Martha gets the hearing aid, and after a week, the doctor calls George for a follow-up.

“So, how’s Martha doing with her new hearing aid?”

George says, “Fantastic. I’ve tested her a few times. I stand behind her and ask a question quietly to see how far she can hear.”

“Really?” the doctor says. “That’s a good method. How far back did you go?”

“Well,” George says, “last night I stood about 20 feet behind her while she was cooking and said, ‘What’s for dinner?’ No answer. So I got closer—15 feet. Still nothing. Ten feet—still no reply. Finally, I was right behind her and said, ‘What’s for dinner?’”

The doctor asks, “And what did she say?”

George sighs, “She turned around and yelled, ‘For the FOURTH time, GEORGE—it’s CHICKEN!’”

LOL!!

Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
