Deaf wife

Paul was catching a lot of his ribbing from his buddies in the bar: "You got 17 kids?" exclaimed Jim,
"why you orta hold back a little bit and think of your poor wife."

"But I DO think of her, but it's really her fault we got so many kids. She's deaf as a post!"

"Pardon me," harrumphed an old man, "but what does her deafness have to do with this
outrageous number of kids?"

"Well," says Paul, "we get in bed at night, and I whisper, 'You wanna sleep or what?'
And she always answers, 'WHAT?' "
