Reminds me of the 4/22/2004 "Real Life Adventures" comic.

I can't find it on the [link|http://content.uclick.com/content/rl.html|web] - the archive doesn't seem to go back that far, but it's in the Summer/Fall 2006 issue of Washington Consumer's Checkbook magazine (p.86):

Husband sitting in his chair, between 2 speakers. His wife says:

Let me get this straight. You spend $2000 on speaker cables because you can "hear the difference," but you can't hear me calling you from the kitchen?

:-)

This issue has articles on audio equipment, supermarket price comparisons, buying hearing aids and lots of other things. Unfortunately, the articles are only available online to subscribers ($34 for 2 years). [link|http://www.checkbook.org|http://www.checkbook.org] - they have branches in several areas around the country. It's a good resource for major purchases and for finding home repair contractors, etc.

Cheers,
Scott.

Unfair!

I believe that there is a male audio context avoidance gene that discriminates between "oh honey, can you come here a second?" which means she wants to rearrange the family room, and 'NICK which means I'm there seconds later saying "what? what?"

The psychology of the aid is important too. - (Another Scott) - (3) - July 28, 2006, 07:19:23 PM EDT

You say, "Williams, how can you get away with such political incorrectness?" It's easy. I'm a tenured professor, and I have diversified sources of income -- plus, I don't have much longer in this world.
