“LISTENING HELPS”-by Des Kelly
Unfortunately our male gender has always been short of hearing or, for reasons of their own, are as deaf as posts. This proof comes to us from Carol Vieyra, via Keith Bennett, of coursel, and/e’Lanka thanks both these wonderful people/for this example of a totally deaf repairman. Please read on.

(Editor-in-Chief)…. e’Lanka.
Wanda’s dishwasher was broken, so she called in a repairman.
Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman,
‘I’ll leave the key under the mat.
Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a check
Oh, by the way don’t worry about my dog Spike. He won’t bother you.
But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!
I MUST STRESS TO YOU:
DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!”
When the repairman arrived at Wanda’s apartment, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen.
But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.
Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself
any longer and yelled,
‘Shut up, you stupid, frickin ugly bird!’
To which the parrot replied, ‘Get him Spike!’
See – Men just don’t listen!
