I heard Little Jimmie Dickens last year at the Opry tell this joke and it reminded me of you my friend.
Seems this ole Tennessee turkey hunter could not hear birds all of sudden like. They would have to be almost in range before he could hear them, so he took off to the doctor.
He got to the Doctor and explained to him he could not hear anything, "The doctor said, "Well lets take a look in there." He eyed down his hear with his Scope and then went over to the tray and got a pair of narrow forceps. Extending them down into his ear, he pulled something out of his ear, went over to the other ear and did the same. Then He said, "Here's your problem, you had two suppositories stuck in down in your ears.
Then the old Turkey Hunter said, "Well that explains what I did with my hearing aides."

Happy Birthday My Friend!!!!!!!
