For the older crowd


THE OLDER CROWD


A distraught senior citizen
Phoned her doctor's office.
'Is it true,' she wanted to know,
'that the medication
You prescribed has to be taken
For the rest of my life?'
'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence
Before the senior lady replied,
I'm wondering, then,
Just how serious is my condition
Because this prescription is marked
'NO REFILLS'.'

********************
An older gentleman was
On the operating table
Awaiting surgery
And he insisted that his son,
A renowned surgeon,
Perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia,
He asked to speak to his son
'Yes, Dad, what is it? '
'Don't be nervous, son;
Do your best
And just remember,
If it doesn't go well,
If something happens to me,
Your mother
Is going to come and
Live with you and your wife....'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(I LOVE IT!)

Aging:
Eventually you will reach a point
When you stop lying about your age
And start bragging about it. This is so true. I love
to hear them say "you don't look that old."
---------------------------------
The older we get,
The fewer things
Seem worth waiting in line for.
---------------------------------

Some people
Try to turn back their odometers.
Not me!
I want people to know 'why'
I look this way.
I've traveled a long way
And some of the roads weren't paved.
********************

When you are dissatisfied
And would like to go back to youth,
Think of Algebra.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know you are getting old when
Everything either dries up or leaks.
-------------------------------

One of the many things
No one tells you about aging
Is that it is such a nice change
From being young.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah, being young is beautiful,
But being old is comfortable.
*****************************************


First you forget names,
Then you forget faces.
Then you forget to pull up your zipper.
It's worse when
You forget to pull it down.
---------------------------------
Two guys one old one young
Are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart
When they collide.
The old guy says to the young guy,
'Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife,
And I guess I wasn't paying attention
To where I was going.
The young guy says, 'That's OK, it's a coincidence.
I'm looking for my wife, too...'
I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate'
The old guy says, 'Well,
Maybe I can help you find her..
What does she look like?'
' The young guy says,
'Well, she is 27 yrs old, tall,
With red hair,
Blue eyes, is buxom wearing no bra,
Long legs,
And is wearing short shorts.
What does your wife look like?'
To which the old guy says, 'Doesn't matter,
--- let's look for yours.'
(ADORABLE)
*********************

And this final one especially for me......
Lord, Keep Your arm around my shoulder,
And, Your hand over my mouth!

I've been to many places



 I have been in many places,

but I've never been in Cahoots.

Apparently, you can't go alone.

You have to be in Cahoots with someone.


I've also never been in Cognito. ****

I hear no one recognizes you there.


I have, however, been in Sane. ****

They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.

I have made several trips there, thanks to my



friends, family and work.


I would like to go to Conclusions, ****

but you have to jump, and I'm not too much


 on physical activity anymore.


I have also been in Doubt. ****

That is a sad place to go,




and I try not to visit there too often.


I've been in Flexible, ****

but only when it was very important to stand firm.


Sometimes I'm in Capable, ****

and I go there more often as I'm getting older.


One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! ****

It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps



up the old heart!****

Good News From The Kitchen




 

This woman is 51.  She is TV health guru Gillian

McKeith, advocating a holistic approach to

nutrition  and health, promoting exercise, a

vegetarian diet  high in organic fruits and

vegetables. She recommends detox diets, colonic

irrigation and supplements.
  


This woman is 51. She is Nigllea Lawson a TV

cook, who eats meat, butter and desserts, and

Loves a good wine!


I REST MY CASE





The awesome power of a wife's love  
  
  



  
  
    

 
 A very old man lay dying in his bed. In death's

doorway, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his

favorite chocolate chip cookie wafting up the

stairs. 

 He gathered his remaining strength and

lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the

wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom,

and with even greater effort forced himself down

the stairs, gripping the railing with both

hands.  
 With labored breath, he leaned against the

door frame, gazing into the kitchen.Were it not for

death's agony, he would have thought himself

already in heaven.  
 There, spread out on

newspapers on the kitchen table were literally

hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.  
 

Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of

heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that

he left this world a happy man?  
 Mustering one

great final effort, he threw himself toward the 

table.

The aged and withered hand, shaking, made its 

way

to a cookie at the edge of the table, when he was

suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. 




"Stay out of those," she said.


"They're for the

funeral."
