THE £1.50 HEARING AID

An elderly man stopped at a hearing aid centre and asked about prices. The salesman said, "We have them from £25,000 down to £1.50."

"What's the £25,000 one like?"

The salesman said, "Well, it translates three languages."

"And what about the one for £1.50?"

"It's this button attached to a string," said the salesman, pushing it across the counter.

"How does it work?"

"It doesn't," replied the salesman said. "But if you put the button in your ear and the string in your pocket, you'll be surprised how loud people talk!"
