Hearing Problem

"Hearing Problem"*

*Two old ladies lived way out in the country, only
going into town on Sundays for church. One Sunday,
there was a strange pastor, a very handsome man,
in the pulpit, preaching away quite merrily.

One of the ladies, quite deaf, had to turn her hearing a
id up fully. As the old ladies were returning home, the
pros and cons of the new pastor was their main subject of conversation.

"I thought he was lovely," said one.

"He was, rather, wasn't he?" said the other.

"He was very loud, wasn't he?"

"Eh?" said the other, "what cloud?"

"I said he was very loud."

"Eh?"

"I said, he was very loud," shouted the other. "Bawls like a bull."

"Has he?" said the first. "I never noticed. The pulpit was in the way."
