Quot;I’m 80 percent deaf in my left ear. People trip out on that. I was born that way, so I just roll with lieutenant

When I walk into a theater, I always sit just off to the left so I can hear more with my good ear. lieutenant’s funny, though, my wife still talks into my left ear.
When I go to sleep with my right ear to the pillow, I can’t hear anything. lieutenant’s like having an earplug.
So, if someone is talking to me and I don’t care what they’re saying, I can just sit with my left ear to them.".
