Jim was growing concerned that his wife Pam was hard of hearing. So he decided one day to test her hearing. While she was reading a book, he approached from twenty feet behind her, and then asked "Pam, can you hear me?" Getting no response he moved to about fifteen feet behind her, and again asked, "Pam, can you hear me?" Still, he got no response, so he moved to about six feet behind her. "Pam, can you hear me," he asked for the third time. Pam suddenly whipped around and glared at him. "For fuck's sake, Jim, for the third time yes I fucking hear you, what the fuck do you want?"
