A Few Laughs on Getting Older
When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the
paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea.
No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and
complained bitterly, "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not
gonorrhea."
Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course I
know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to
remember him as a great lover rather than the big shit he always was."
An elderly couple were on a cruise and it was really stormy. They were
standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and
washed the old woman overboard. They searched for days and couldn't find
her, so the captain sent the old man back to shore with the promise that he
would notify him as soon as they found something. Three weeks went by and
finally the old man got a fax from the boat.
It read: "Sir, sorry to inform
you, we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up
to the deck and attached to her
butt was an oyster and in it was a pearl worth $50,000 . . please advise."
The old man faxed back: "Send me the pearl and re-bait the trap."
A funeral service is being held for a woman who has just passed away. At
the end of the service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when
they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket.
They hear a faint
moan.
They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive! She
lives for ten more years, and then dies.
Once again, a ceremony is held,
and at the end of it, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket.
As they carry the casket towards the door, the husband cries out, "Watch
that wall!"
When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old lady sitting on a park bench
sobbing her eyes out. I stopped and asked her what was wrong. She said, "I
have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and
then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground
coffee."
I said, "Well, then why are you crying?" She said, "He makes me homemade
soup for lunch and my favorite brownies and then makes love to me for half
the afternoon.
I said, "Well, why are you crying?" She said, "For dinner he makes me a
gourmet meal with wine and my favorite dessert and then makes love to me
until 2:00 a.m."
I said, "Well, why in the world would you be crying?"
She said, "I can't remember where I live!"
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years they
had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities
had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.
One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now
don't get mad at me....I know we've been friends for a long time.....but I
just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't
remember it. Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her.
For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she
said, "How soon do you need to know?"
THE SENILITY PRAYER
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
