I'm sure Emily Litella was in Gilda Radnor's repertoire because people thought it hilarious when she couldn't distinguish consonants. Radnor gave the audience what they wanted. It says more about the audience than about Radnor.
Canadians save their trash-talk for hockey, eh.

Note to Congress regarding all treaties with Canada, change "ay" to "eh." Zut alors!

We should trade stories.
 All right, all right, I have duly lightened up. I get tetchy around 2 am; it's not my best time.

Bruce, how much conversation were you missing when you finally got the hearing aides? I'm headed in that direction... Sometimes I think my level of disinterest in humans makes it worse but there are times when I want to understand and don't.

Much more than I thought, according to others. But I think that was more a case of, "You didn't hear a thing I was thinking", in some cases.

My uncle is a musician, and he was really in denial about his growing hearing loss, until the Ear-Nose-Throat doc explained to him that it's not just about the ear, it's about the connections in the brain. The longer you can't hear something, the more neurons shut down, and if you wait too long, no hearing aide in the world is going to be able to get those sounds back for you. If you get one as soon as the hearing starts to go, you get to keep everything for much longer. He got one, and was astounded to discover all the things he'd been missing. They make them so tiny now, you really can't see them, and there is no shame in wearing one even if you're still on the young side. |

I didn't notice anything even remotely unusual about your hearing ability when we had lunch, ortho.

 I'm glad. I manage very well one on one, in a quiet environment. I do a lot of educated guessing, but as long as things stay in context I'm usually right.
