evidence: A man from Waterbury in Connecticut faces divorce after his wife found out that he was not actually deaf and had been faking it for more than 62 years to avoid having to listen to her. [...] Mr. Dawson’s lawyer, Robert Sanchez, admits his client faked being deaf but said he did it "for his wife", adding "it’s the only way to endure that annoying magpie". [...] "My client is pretty quiet and not very talkative, but his wife is annoyingly chatty. If he hadn’t faked being deaf, they would have divorced 60 years ago. In a way, he did it for her and for his family."
