A Hypothetical Analogy Between Fake IDs and Audiology Tests

You guys remember fake IDs, right? You know, when we were kids - those bogus identification cards that often would work to get us into bars so we could drink, right? I mean, I never had one (ahem), but I’ve seen plenty of them in my day, many moons ago now.

Sometimes they’d have your picture, and sometimes they’d have a picture of someone who looked kinda like you -- those were the best - and funniest - because even they worked pretty well, haha, until they’d get confiscated eventually. My old roommate had one like that, and it was so funny because the dude in the picture kind of had a jaw that was slanted to the left in the photo, so every time he presented it to the bouncer he’d angle his jaw to the left and it was all I could do to not burst out laughing. Ahhhhh, good times.

So it got me thinking....I wonder if there could be an underground market for "fake" audiology test results that one could **hypothetically** use to **prove** their hearing acumen to a significant other who, hypothetically, let’s say discourages future hi-end audio purchases on the theory that one’s hearing is not good enough anyway to discern the differences in quality. "Look honey, perfect hearing! You were wrong all along in assuming I wouldn’t be able to discern audio sound quality differences! Now where is my credit card?"

I wonder....

How funny would it be to see a bunch of 40-, 50-, 60-, 70-, 80-something dudes (or dudettes) congregating at the audio shows and comparing their audiology reports, and in particular comparing how believable they looked?

Purely hypothetical, of course.
