Robin’s 2 cents:
An old man went to the doctor.
The doctor said, “Your hearing aid is working perfectly!”
The old man replied, “What?”
The doctor shouted, “YOUR HEARING AID IS PERFECT!”
“Oh, great,” the old man said. “I’ve changed it three times this week!”
The doctor looked confused. “Why?”
The old man smiled. “Because my wife still thinks I can’t hear her.”
