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 about it, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there was a simple, informal test he 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 she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
That evening his wife was 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 he moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining 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. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again, no response.
So he walks right up behind her.
"Honey, what's for dinner?"
"RALPH, FOR THE FIFTH TIME, CHICKEN!"

Retirement Home Humor
During a visit to the retirement home, a man asked the director, "How do you determine whether or not a person should be institutionalized?"
"Well," said the Director, "We fill up a bathtub, and then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," he said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No," said the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

The bartender says, "Well before you tell it, I should warn you that I'm an Aggie. See those two guys at the end of the bar? They're Aggies. And see those guys over at that table. They're Aggies too. Are you sure you want to tell that joke?"
The guy replies, "Heck no! I don't want to explain it five times..."

Aggie Humor
After eight years in college, there is one Aggie student who still
can't seem to get himself graduated. He got in five years on a
football scholarship, and everyone likes him, but he just can't seem
to make it through his classes.
The professors and the board of regents at the school are beginning to
be anxious about the possible damage to the school's reputation, and
decide that graduate or not, Jethro has got to go. They are worried
that the general public is going to hear about this student hasn't
graduated after eight years. After conferring with each other, they
give him the news: "Jethro, we've decided that this is going to be
your last semester at A&M. So we're going to give you a test at
graduation time. We're going to ask you just one question, and if you
answer it correctly, you graduate. If you answer it incorrectly, you
don't graduate. But either way, this is your last semester and it's
time to leave the school."
So graduation rolls around, and Jethro is the very last person to step
up, because he still has to take the test. Everyone at school knows
about it and each person in the audience holds his breath as the
university president asks Jethro the Test Question. "Jethro, what's
four plus three?" Jethro thinks hard for a moment, and then hesitantly
answers, "Seven?" There is a brief moment of silence, and then another
Aggie calls out from the audience:
"Aw, gee, give him another chance!"
