Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 06, 2022

oh, she said something, pal, but you weren’t listening the first few times

She ask if you needed another beer. Now you’ll have to get it yourself.

Selective hearing come standard in all male Plugger models (like me.;-D).

He needs a recliner and a pair of socks that say on the bottom, “If you can read this get me a beer.” I got my wife a pair that say, “I’m watching Hallmark Movies get me a glass of wine.”

Whatdya say? Beer? Yes please!

No plugger gets to that age without being able to replay it in their head.

Be Kind, Rewind.

Don’t rachet-jaw until you have the audience’s attention ;-)

I bought the wife one of those brass ear horns…….she hit me with it Jeez……..

A wife should never start talking until she has her partner’s FULL attention. This avoids these situations.

Speaking of Pluggers, people will soon start putting up Christmas lights, that sometimes leads to the situation where there are two female ends facing each other. There are Male – Male adapters sold on the internet. These are extremely dangerous and a good way to earn a Darwin Award. Do the job right, take one side of your lights down and flip them.

Sometimes when you say “What?”, you realize that you did hear/understand what was said – it just takes your mind a little extra time to process it.

Sorry. It’s playoff time. In the den/mancave from about 9:45 to about 6:00. Don’t bother me unless the house is on fire or you are dying.

What?

One benefit of hearing aids is that you can always blame them.

Remember the children’s book WHAT DO YOU SAY, DEAR? (Illustrated by Maurice Sendak!)

For decades I have had a hearing problem – but it seems they are just learning about it now. I hear fine in a quiet room – such as where hearing tests are given – but if there is noise in the room or it is a large room (like a gym) I have trouble hearing. A couple of years ago I read an article that they just realized this problem exists, so I am hoping for help some day.

In the interim over the last several years he has developed a normal hearing problem. He tried the “not a hearing aid, just makes it louder” and was miserable. He is hoping to be able to get one of the new hearing aids which will available for less money as money remains a consideration in our life.
