"Being Late"
Two deaf men were talking on their coffee
break about being out late the night before.
The first man signed to his friend, "My wife
was asleep when I got home, so I was able
to sneak into bed, and not get into trouble."
The second deaf man signed back, "Boy,
you're lucky. My wife was wide awake,
waiting for me in bed, and she started
swearing at me and giving me heck for
being out so late."
The first deaf man asked, "So, what did you
do?"
The second deaf man signed, "I turned out
the light!"

"Hearing Problem"
A concerned husband went to a doctor to talk
about his wife. He says to the doctor, "Doctor,
I think my wife is deaf because she never hears
me the first time and always asks me to repeat
things."
"Well," the doctor replied, "go home and tonight
stand about 15 feet from her and say something
to her. If she doesn't reply move about 5 feet close
and say it again. Keep doing this so that we'll get
an idea about the severity of her deafness."
Sure enough, the husband goes home and does
exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet
from his wife in the kitchen as she is chopping
some vegetables and says, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
He hears no response. He moves about 5 feet closer
and asks again. No reply. He moves 5 feet closer.
Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind
her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey,
what's for dinner?"
She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"
