What’s for Dinner? Chicken, Naturally!
“Doctor, I suspect my wife has selective hearing,” the man said. He always felt she tuned him out. In a fit of skepticism, the doctor prescribed a test.
“Start at 40 feet and ask her something,” the doctor suggested, “and keep getting closer until she responds.” Simple enough, right? A few back-and-forths and he’d unveil the truth—a win-win situation.
That evening, armed with newfound resolve (and entirely too much optimism), the gentleman ventured to the kitchen. “Honey, what’s for supper?” he inquired, projecting his voice like he was announcing a royal decree.
No answer. Undeterred, he decided to navigate the vast chasms of the living room, creeping closer to the culinary queen. “Honey, what’s for supper?” The surroundings echoed his inquiry like a tragic Shakespearean monologue.
Merely inches away now, he confidently declared, “Honey, what’s for supper?” Silence fell heavier than a brick. Finally, standing directly behind her, he put on his best lover’s whisper: “Honey, what’s for supper?”
“For the fifth time, Harry, it’s CHICKEN!” she blurted out, the exasperation palpable. And thus, the great hearing loss investigation concluded, along with any semblance of romance.
And if you need laughter faster than a speeding chicken, definitely check out this collection of the most hilarious one-liners on the internet.

The Legendary Superhero: Drunkman
A man strolled into a rooftop bar, a monument of swagger. He took a seat next to a mysterious figure sipping from a frosty mug. “What’s your potion?” he asked.
“Oh, do enlighten me. What’s so magical about it?” The man leaned in, ready for the punchline.
With a flourish, the drunken wizard slurped the brew, then leapt off the building like a misguided bird. He soared, danced in the air, and returned with a smug grin, as if gravity was merely a suggestion.
“Impressive!” the newcomer replied, his intrigue piqued. “Let me sample this elixir of wonder!” He gulped down the liquid courage and hurled himself into the abyss—only to plummet straight to the ground.
The bartender rolled his eyes. “You know, you have a terrible personality when you’re tipsy, Superman.” Irony, much? Superman meets his kryptonite in a bottle.

The Silent Monks’ Saga
In a Buddhist monastery, monks commit to a vow of silence—a practice as old as time itself. But every decade, they’re allowed to speak precisely two words. The anticipation builds like a pot of toasty butter on a stove.
Ten years elapsed, and the first monk sauntered up to the head monk and uttered, “Food bad.” A riveting contribution that would undoubtedly echo through the ages.
Another decade rolled by. “Bed hard,” he declared, concern for his comfort finally surfacing.
But at last, after a full twenty years, it was time to break silence again. The monk looked intensely at the head monk and said, “I quit.” Dramatic pause ensues.
“I’m not shocked,” the head monk replied, his eyes rolling. “You’ve been complaining non-stop since you arrived here.” Silence, clearly, isn’t for everyone.
The irony of these solemn monks complaining about everything is rivaled only by your local Yelp critic. Who knew silence could be so deafening?
