👵👴 The Hearing Aid Test
George and Martha had been married for over 40 years. Every evening, they sat on their front porch in their rocking chairs, watching the sun set like clockwork.
One evening, George looked over at Martha and said warmly,
“You know, Martha, I’m really proud of us. All these years, through everything, we’ve stayed together.”
Martha smiled. “What was that, dear?”
George spoke louder. “I said, I’m proud of us!”
She leaned closer. “You’re proud of the bus?”
George frowned. “No — us! You and me!”
“Ohhh,” she said. “Well that’s nice. I’m proud of the bus too. Very reliable transportation.”
George sighed. “We really need to get your hearing checked.”
Martha waved him off. “I hear just fine.”
🏥 The Doctor Visit
The next day, they went to the doctor for a hearing test.
After the exam, the doctor said, “Good news — Martha’s hearing can be greatly improved with a modern hearing aid. The only downside is the cost. It’s about $3,000.”
George’s eyes widened. “Three thousand dollars?! Does it come with surround sound and concert tickets?”
But they decided to go ahead with it. Martha got the hearing aid and wore it for a week.
A few days later, the doctor called George. “So how’s Martha adjusting to the hearing aid?”
George said, “It’s incredible. I’ve been testing how well she can hear.”
“Oh really?” the doctor said. “How do you test it?”
“Well,” George explained, “I stand behind her and ask a question quietly, then see how far away she can still hear me.”
“That’s clever! How far back did you go?”
George said, “Last night she was cooking dinner. I stood about 20 feet behind her and asked, ‘What’s for dinner?’ No answer.
So I moved to 15 feet. Nothing.
Then 10 feet. Still nothing.
Finally, I stood right behind her and asked, ‘What’s for dinner?’”
The doctor laughed. “And what did she say?”
George sighed.
“She turned around and said, ‘For the FOURTH time, George — it’s CHICKEN!’”
⭐ The Camping Trip
An older married couple decided to go camping for the weekend. They set up their tent, had a simple dinner, and fell asleep under a sky full of stars.
In the middle of the night, the wife nudged her husband awake.
“Look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
He rubbed his eyes and said thoughtfully,
“I see millions and millions of stars.”
“And what does that tell you?” she asked.
He stroked his chin like a philosopher.
“Well, if there are millions of stars, and some of them have planets, it’s possible that there are planets like Earth out there. And if there are planets like Earth, there could be life somewhere else in the universe…”
There was a long pause.
Then his wife said,
“No, dear. It means someone stole our tent.”
