Another "hard of hearing" story:
A older couple from Vermont were driving south and stopped at a service station in a small town in Tennessee. The old gentleman got out to fill up his car and the service attendant came out to check his oil. The attendant asks, "where ya from?" The old man says, "we're from Vermont." At that, his wife asks, "what did he say?" The old man says, "he asked where we're from and I told him Vermont."
The attendant then says, "hey, I used to live in Vermont." Before the old man could ask him where, his wife said, "what did he say?" The old man says, "he said he used to live in Vermont."
The old man asks the attendant where he lived in Vermont and he responded, "on a farm in mid-state Vermont." The old man says, "hey, we live in mid-state Vermont." At that the wife again asks, "what did he say?" The old man says, "he said he used to live on a farm in mid-state Vermont."
The attendant then says, "yeah, I lived there with a nice lady. She sure could cook and man did she keep a good house. But brother, was she ever lousy in bed." And the old woman again says, "what did he say?" The old man says, "he says he thinks he knows you."
