A Waterfall At Midnight

Two old men meet for coffee once a week at a diner while their wives play cribbage. Jim says he has a problem. His wife leaves the water running in the bathroom sink late at night. Jim says without her hearing aids she can’t hear the water running. Bill admits he too used to leave the water running. Then he bought hearing aids he can leave in at night. Now he always turns the water off. He tells Jim he should do what his wife did before Bill bought his expensive new hearing aids. Hide the stopper to the sink. Donal Mahoney
