New ears

[Lyn]

The driver of a vehicle involved in a smash was not wearing a seat belt and as he shot through the windscreen both ears were severed. An hour later at the hospital the surgeon decided to graft another pair of ears on the patient. Unfortunately there were no human ears left in the spare organs bank - only pig's ears. The family was consulted and permission for the pig's ears to be grafted on was given. The surgeon did a fine job and the family was allowed to visit.
The visiting wife decided to bring a Walkman complete with headphones to see if her husband's hearing was affected. He tried them on and listened with the new pig's ears. "Are they alright?" asked his wife.
"Not too bad," he answered, "But there's a bit of crackling in the left ear."
