Bert's Joke  of the Month 
A Gentleman with hearing problems went to the doctor and was fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed him to hear 100%.
When he returned in a month the doctor said "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again"
The Gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will 3 times!"
