Idaho woman mistakes own hearing aid for a Milk Dud

[depakid]

The Spokesman Review's Paul Turner wrote the cautionary tale about dipping into the Halloween candy three weeks early.

Violet Bishop, 87, of Coeur d’Alene was tucked into bed with a box of Milk Duds, ready to watch “Dancing With the Stars,” when something went horribly wrong. In her words:

“As I enjoyed the chocolate and caramel taste, it appeared that one of my Milk Duds was not as fresh as the others. One was rather crunchy and I could not get it to soften up, no matter how hard I tried.”

The transplanted Texan was puzzled.

Finally, she removed the dud Dud from her mouth. She wanted to see what the problem was.

“I found out.”

Apparently, as she had shifted into position on the bed, a hearing aid had fallen out of her ear and dropped right into the little box of candies.

1. That's hilarious.

I sent it to about ten people. You need a certain odd type of humor to find it funny.
