A concerned Koos goes to see the family doctor & says, -* "Doc, I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time I say something, in fact, I often have to repeat things over & over again." -* "Well," the doctor replies, -* "go home & tonight stand about 15 feet from her & say something. If she doesn´t reply, move about five feet closer & say it again. Keep doing this, so we can get an idea about the severity of her deafness." Sure enough, Koos speeds home & does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen & as she is chopping some vegetables, he says, "Doll, what´s for dinner?" He gets no response. He moves about five feet closer & asks again. No reply. He moves five feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up & moves right behind her, about an inch away, & asks again, -* "Doll, what´s for dinner?" She replies, -* "Ag, man Koos for the fourth time, it’s vegetable stew!"
