There was this man who went deaf so he went to the doctor. The doctor wrote a note to him in the office that his excessive beer drinking was the cause of his deafness and if he wanted his hearing back, he would have to stop drinking beer. Several months later the doctor saw the man coming out of the local bar, stoped him and discovered he was still deaf. He wrote the man a note asking why he didn't stop drinking beer when it was causing his deafness. The man wrote back on a note saying, " I didn't want to hear what you said about drinkng beer so I kept on drinking. A joke told by Lyndon B. Johnson.
