"An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, "Honey, can you hear me?" There was no response. He moved a little closer and said again, "Honey, can you hear me?" Still, there was no response. Finally he moved right behind her and said, "Honey, can you hear me?"

Now guess the punch line of this joke!

I think this is great to show the difficulty in lip reading, as with all people lip patterns and accents vary very much. People who rely on lip reading as a form of communication,face a difficult task and cannot choose to speak to people that have "perfect" lip patterns. I think you show this really well.

It would of been better if the lady who lipspeaks had good lip patterns as she herself has a hearing loss and does not speak clearly, or forms the words properly.
