Honey, What's For Supper?

An elderly gentleman of 85 feared his wife was getting hard of hearing. So one
day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked.
The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in two weeks, and meanwhile
there's a simple informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea
of the state of her problem.
Here's what you do, said the doctor. Start out about 40 feet away from her, and
in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30
feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in the living
room. He says to himself, I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens. Then
in a normal tone he asks,
Honey, what's for supper? No response.
So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife
and repeats,
Honey, what's for supper? Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and
asks,
Honey, what's for supper? Again he gets no response.
So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away.
Honey, what's for supper? Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her.
Honey, what's for supper?
Damn it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!

Safety First
One day after class, there was a safety drill at my school a technology
vocational school. The instructor showed the importance of wearing safety gear
on a building site, such as a helmet, safety shoes, and gloves. He also mentioned
that we must always put on our seatbelt in a car. Then we all were given a chance
to try on those safety gadgets.
When the drill was over, my friends and I walked to the car of one of my friends.
We always go home together because we live in the same housing complex. I sat
in the front seat, next to the driver. I buckled the seatbelt, and I turned my head
facing my friends in the back.
Dont forget to buckle up, guys! Dont forget, safety first! to my surprise, their
exploded into laughter.
Hey, come on, guys. You know that Im right, I said to defend myself.
Yeah, yeah. Youre right. But you dont have to wear a helmet in a car!
My gosh! I forgot to take off the helmet I had been wearing. I opened the car door
and ran to return the helmet. With a red face, of course. Ever since, my friends
have teased me with the words.
