Subject: :THE JOY OF AGEING


 

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. 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 A-Mart. "A-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why
A-Mart?" "Then I'll b e sure my daughters visit me twice a week "

  Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

  It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.

 These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast
relief."

never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the
eyesight to tell the difference.

  Now, I think you're supposed to share this with 5 or 6, maybe 10 others.
Oh heck, give it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they
are! Oh and I've just found an Easter Egg!!!!
