Considering Old Age
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly
widow and asked,
'How old was your husband?'
'98,' she replied.
'Two years older than me'
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:
'And what do you think is the best thing
about being 104?' the reporter asked.
She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'

I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new
knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm
half blind, can't
hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take
40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have
bouts with dementia. Have
poor circulation; hardly
feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't
remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have
lost all my friends. But, thank God, I
still have my driver's license.
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's
permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an
aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and
perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was
over.
An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told
her preacher she had two final requests.
First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she
wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. 'Wal-Mart?'
the preacher exclaimed. 'Why
Wal-Mart?' 'Then
I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week'.
These days about half the stuff in
my shopping cart says, 'For
fast relief.'
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it
used to be.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.
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.
