We were invited to dinner a the house of some friends. After dinner, the host told me he had been to one of those 'Hearing Clinics', and they tried to sell him a pair of hearing aids for $10K. He couldn't believe it. He said he later saw an ad in the Sunday paper for hearing aids for $39.95, and ordered one. Said it worked just as well as those $10K ripoffs. I said, "That's great. What kind is it?"
He then looked at his watch, and replied, "20 minutes past 8".
