>'Here's what you do," said the doctor, "start out about 40

>That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and
> he's in the living room. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet
> away, let's see what happens." Then in a! normal tone he asks,
> 'Honey, what's for supper?" No response.

>So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet

>Again he gets no response so he walks up to the kitchen door,
> only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?" Again there is no
