(( Senior Moments ))

  
   ~   
An elderly couple
had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.  
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'
 
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
 
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What's
the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.'  
'Do you mean a rose?' 
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

Hospital regulations
require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he did not need my help to leave the hospital.   
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.
 
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. 
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:   
'So I hear you're getting married?'  
'Yep!'
 
'Do I know her?'
 
'Nope!'
 
'This woman, is she good looking?'
 
'Not really.'
 
'Is she a good cook?'
 
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
 
'Does she have lots of money?'
 
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
 
'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
 
'I don't know.'
 
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'  

'Because she can still drive!'

A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.'  
'Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it?'
 
'Twelve thirty.'

Morris
, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.    
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. 
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'   
 
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''  
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

One more. . .!

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool... After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
 
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

Everyone Understands Cartoons

THINK ABOUT IT! 
   ~   




    ~    
Isn't life strange? I never met one Veteran who enlisted to fight for Socialism! How many will send this on?  
  ~   
If Muslims can pray on Madison Avenue and the subway areas in Toronto, why are Christians banned from praying in public and from erecting religious displays on their holy days? 
 
What happened to our National Day of Prayer? 
Muslims are allowed to block off Madison Ave. in N.Y.C. and pray in the middle  of the street! And, it's a monthly ritual! 
 
Tell me, again, whose country is this?  Ours or the Muslims? 
 
I was asked  to send this on if I agree, or delete if I don't.  It is said that 86% of Americans and Canadians believe in God. 
 

Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in the U.S. having "In God! We Trust" on our money, and having God in our Pledge of Allegiance, or the Lord's prayer said in our schools or public  meetings. 
 
I believe it's time we stand up for what we  believe!  
If you agree, pass this on!

:< Male Logic >:

Critical Thinking At Its Best! 
  ~  
  ~    
Woman:
Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes 
   
Woman:
How many beers a day?

Man:
Usually about 3
 
 
Woman:
How much do you pay per beer?

Man: $5.00 which includes a tip

(This is where it gets scary !)

Woman:
And how long have you been drinking?

Man:
About 20 years, I suppose 
 
Woman:
So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at
$450. In one year, it would be approximately $5,400 …correct?

Man:
Correct 
 
Woman:
If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past
20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

Man:
Correct
 
 
Woman:
Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up
interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

Man:
Do you drink beer?

Woman:
No
 
Man:
Where’s your Ferrari?

Recycling Plus

Recycling Plus 
   ~   
 

























  ~   
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment.  
  
The woman apologized to the  young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days."     The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."      The older lady said that she was right -- our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain:
    
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.       Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.
    
We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.      But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.      Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
     But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana . In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.      But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.       We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.       But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.       Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the"green thing." We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.       But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then?      Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person.
    
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off... Especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smart ass who can't make change without the cash register telling them how much.
