This is too good not to share. My bride and I were watching TV a couple of weeks ago. She can't hear for beans so she was using her TV Ears (as seen on TV). We had a dish of almonds on the table between our chairs and were happily munching away. Out of the coner of her eye Barbara saw a few nuts fall on the table so she scooped them up and put them in her mouth.

Two seconds later she yelled and was spitting out the nuts and several parts of her hearing aid. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I was not so conflicted; I just laughed. Wires, pieces of plastic and the battery with pieces of almonds in her hand.

1) I was not involved and 2) I could not be blamed.

Of course, the final joke is on us as the hearing aid cost $1,600. But for 5 seconds it was a $million laugh.

Next time I'm going to put her watch near the dried apricots. I'll keep you posted.

What a hoot!

Sounds like something that might happen in our household.

So what's the nutritional value of a hearing aid?

She had her glasses on, Lawrence. It was a peripheral vision thing. You know how wrapped up some people get while watching Desperate Housewives. I was minding my own business doing the Sunday crossword puzzle.
