'What Did You Say?'

In this afternoon's mail I received two free tickets [valued at $100 the tickets said] to hear a nationally known hearing aid expert and trained specialist .... WOW. This individual would be live [I'm certainly glad they aren't planning on propping up a corpse] and you could even hang around after the conference and get a 'personal' checkup.

Now I'm trying to figure out if this is just one of those random things or if a friend is playing a joke on me. If its just a random choosing then a lot of money is being needlessly wasted .. or is there something about once you pass the 60age mark you automatically qualify for such loving consideration?

Here are some of the FREEBIES!
~an Otoscope Inspection, it may just be wax blockage? what if its merely selective hearing, can this free inspection determine that?
~a Hearing Assessment to see what you hear and what you don't ... that not their business
~Hearing Aid Inspection, all makes and models [made by the sponsoring company of course]
~Trade-in Appraisel of your old hearing aids .... I don't have one so is there a special discount for not having to bother with disposing an old one?
~Package of Hearing Aid Batteries. One free package Per family ... sounds like the EverReady Bunny's been busy
~Free Financing - now there's an oxymoron!

If you'd like me to send all this enticing information, just leave your snail mail address and when I get around to it you just might ... is this about hearing or remembering ... excuse me, I've forgotten where I put those cards!

  1. I'd take it for my wife, as she's losing her hearing, I think, though she refuses to admit it. She just talks louder and louder and tells us we're "whispering" all the time. Alas, she'd be ticked off if I handed it too her. She's gotta come to the conclusion herself.

    Cheers.

  3. I admit, it wasn't me (I wasn't the one playing a joke on you, but I think I would question the wife--they seem to be quick to diagnose hearing problems--especially selective hearing). I do remember signing my brother up for some old age insurance when we were both in high school. When a salesman came to the house to sell him a policy, my mother had a fit.
