Recently I attended a meeting of a conservative political group and was astounded by the debate conducted by the participants. As I’ve recently gotten a set of hearing aids to prevent that non-communicative and almost hostile exclamation of “HANH!?” whenever I couldn’t understand what was just said; it was a pain in the a@# to have everybody apparently shouting at each other. I say “apparently” because I still haven’t gotten used to the volume control of these things. Up, down, up, down. It’s comical I’m sure to see me tapping myself in the side of my head while muttering oaths to and promises I’ll use a sandblaster to clean the wax out of the cavernous reaches of my cranium.
