George's hearing was not working properly. It never was. He had developed the reputation of being a huh boy because whenever somone asked him a question, the first thing he said was "huh?"
One day he visited the doctor and said, "Doc, my hearing has been bad and getting worse my whole life. I have been working since I was 16, raised three children and put them through college and managed to save a little money over the years. I don't have much money but if I can afford it I would like to get a good hearing aid."
The doctor replied, "You have good timing. I was recenly made aware of a technologically new hearing aid and I can order one for you. It will come straight to your door in one week, then we can have another appointment to check on you in two weeks."
George said, "That's great, order it, but have it shipped to me at the office, I want to try it before I go home with it."
Two weeks passed and George went back for his follow-up appointment.
The doctor tested his hearing again and said, "Wow, your hearing with this new aid is perfect. Your family must be well pleased you can hear like this now."
George remarked, "I haven't told anyone yet, I just sit around and smile while listening to all the conversations. I did meet with an attorney and have changed my will 3 times!"
