One evening, a man who is hard of hearing and his wife are watching television. She turns to him and says something that surprises him; they have been married 45 years and it's been a long time since she made such a request. He gets up, walks over to her, and gives her a big kiss. Now it is her turn to be surprised.

"What was that for?" she asks. He says, "Didn't you say, "I want to kiss you?" "No, NO!" she replies. "I said I wanted a tissue."
