If you are deaf, if you only hear half of what people say even when you ARE wearing your hearing aids, and from time to time you’ve heard someone say, “He can hear what he wants to hear.” Let us give thanks that some of us have handicaps that people can still joke about without having their you know whats squeezed in the vice of political correctness. For a week or so we’ve had a house guest who because of polio has operated out of a wheel chair for 50 or 60 years. Although I strive for accuracy she won’t tell me how old she is. She worked for an airline and has flown all over the world. She is a sharp woman. You know what a digger and a doer my wife Marsha, The Almost Perfect Woman, is, and I’ve seen this woman push her out of the way so she could wash the kitchen floor on her hands and wheels. I’ve never seen anything like the stretch this woman has when she reaches out to grab something. Just like an octopus. And she is just as personable as my wife Marsha. Always a smile on her face and always joking and fooling around. So. Last night I can only assume that our friend on wheels was ragging me about something because I heard Marsha say in a real loud voice, “He didn’t hear what you said.” And this woman said, “He can hear what he wants to hear.” And I said, “And you can get up out of that wheel chair and walk.”
