Section V
Having Some Fun

I thought my wife Barbara was losing her hearing,
so one day I decided to test it. I walked quietly in
through the front door and stood 30 feet behind
her. "Barbara," I said, "Can you hear me?"
There was no response, so I moved to 20 feet
behind her. "Barbara," I repeated, "Can you hear
 me?" Still no reply. I advanced to 10 feet and
 asked, "Now can you hear me?""Yes, dear,"
Barbara answered. "For the third time, yes!"
