Never Assume

Many a times in my life journey, I stumble and fall and I like to assume and jump to conclusion without realizing that I may be the “culprit”. I have a knocked on my head when I read an article my dear friend forwarded to me on a husband’s assumption of his wife’s hearing problem.

Yea, it sounds familiar. It’s a joke. I have a Good Laugh, but….. The moral of the story is:

“THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE WITH THE OTHER ONE AS WE ALWAYS THINK, IT COULD BE VERY MUCH WITHIN US”. So don’t pass any judgement!

#A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

“Here’s what you do”. said the Doctor. “Stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself. ”I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens”. Then in a normal tone, he asks. “Honey, what’s for dinner?” No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and he repeats. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”. There is still no response.

Next he moves into the dinning room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks. “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Again he gets no response.

So he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away and asked. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”. Again there is no response.

So He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

“James, for the FIFTH time I’ve said, CHICKEN!”
