An old man notices that his beloved wife is having some trouble with her hearing. Concerned for her well-being, he suggests that she goes for a hearing test. However, she stubbornly refuses to even consider it. Determined to convince her otherwise, the old man comes up with a clever plan.
One day, he heads upstairs and takes out a recorder. With a mischievous grin on his face, he turns it on and shouts downstairs towards the kitchen, “Honey, what’s for supper?” To his surprise, there is no response. Undeterred, he goes downstairs and repeats his question, but still, there is no answer.
Unwilling to give up, he makes his way into the living room and shouts once more, “Honey, what’s for supper?” Yet again, there is silence. Feeling a mixture of frustration and amusement, he decides to take things a step further. He positions himself just outside the kitchen and raises his voice, yelling, “What’s for supper?” Still, there is no response.
At last, he musters all his patience and stands right behind his wife. He leans closer and asks, with each word distinct, “Honey. What’s. For. Supper?!” With an exasperated expression, she finally turns around and says, “Damn it, Al! For the hundredth time, it’s CHICKEN!!!”
