W: One day, Murphy went to a doctor to talk about his wife. He said to the doctor, “Doctor, I think my wife if deaf because she never hears me the first time and I always have to say things again and again.” “Well,” the doctor answered, “go home and stand about 15 feet from her and say something to her. If she doesn’t answer, move about 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so that we’ll get an idea about how serious her deafness is.”

Sure enough, Murphy went home and did exactly as the doctor told him. He stood about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she was cutting some vegetables and said, “Betty, what’s for dinner?” He heard no answer. He moved about 5 feet closer and asked again. No answer. He moved 5 feet closer and asked again. No answer. He got fed up and moved right behind her, about an inch away, and asked again” Betty, what’s for dinner?” Betty said, “ That’s the fourth time you asked me. They are meatballs.”
