He Asked Once… Then Twice… Then Again
In the streets of a small Bavarian town, 78-year-old Baptist meets his childhood friend Sepp again.
“What are you doing here? We haven’t seen each other in ages!”
“I’m looking for a hearing aid store.”
“Why, do you have problems?”
“No, not me – my wife. I think she’s hard of hearing. When I talk to her, she never answers.”
“Then try something first: Stand five meters away from her, talk to her, and then gradually move closer until she hears you.”
Baptist goes home. There he stands about five meters away from his wife and shouts:
“What’s for dinner tonight?”
No answer.
He gets within four meters:
“What’s for dinner tonight?”
Nothing.
Three meters… no answer.
Two meters… still nothing.
One meter…
His wife turned around, annoyed, and shouted:
“For the fifth time: We’re having roast pork with dumplings!”
