How you
earned it
A young man
asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest
and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth
of the Great Depression. I was down to my
last nickel."
"I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent
the entire day polishing the apple and, at
the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten
cents."
"The next morning, I invested those ten
cents in two apples. I spent the entire day
polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for
20 cents. I continued this system for a
month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a
fortune of $1.37."
"Then my wife's father died and left us two
million dollars."
Grandma
changed
In the dim
and distant past
When life's tempo wasn't so fast,
Grandma used to rock and knit,
Crochet, tat and baby sit.
When the kids were in a jam,
They could always call on Gram.
But today she's in the gym
Exercising to keep slim.
She's checking the web or surfing the net,
Sending some e-mail or placing a bet.
Nothing seems to stop or block her,
Now that Grandma's off her rocker.
When I
become old
When I'm a
little old lady, then I'll live with my
children and bring them great joy.
To repay all I've had from each girl and boy
I shall draw on the walls and scuff up the
floor; run in and out without closing the
door.
I'll hide frogs in the pantry, socks under
my bed. And whenever they scold me, I'll
hang my head.
I'll run and I'll romp, always fritter away
..... the time to be spent doing chores
every day.
I'll pester my children when they are on the
phone. As long as they're busy I won't leave
them alone.
Hide candy in closets, rocks in a drawer ...
and never pick up what I drop on the floor.
Dash off to the movies and not wash a dish.
I'll plead for allowance whenever I wish.
I'll stuff up the plumbing and deluge the
floor. As soon as they've mopped it, I'll
flood it some more.
When they correct me, I'll lie down and cry,
kicking and screaming, not a tear in my eye.
I'll take all their pencils and flashlights,
and then .. when they buy new ones, I'll
take them again.
I'll spill glasses of milk to complete every
meal .... Eat my banana and just drop the
peel.
Put toys on the table, spill jam on the
floor. I'll break lots of dishes as though I
were four.
What fun I shall have, what joy it will be
to Live with my children....just the way
that they lived with me!
Short Age
Humor
A reporter
was 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."
The nice
thing about being senile is you can hide
your own Easter eggs.
I've sure
gotten old. I've had two By-pass 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 Florida
driver's license!
When you are
young, you want to be the master of your
fate and the captain of your soul. When you
are older, you will settle for being the
master of your weight and the captain of
your bowling team.
I'm over the
hill
We're over
the hill but don't feel sad
This side of the hill ain't all that bad.
So give us "five" and then a smile
To us who have been here for awhile.
With by-pass pain and mended hip
And plumbing fixtures prone to drip;
We all may seem a sorry lot,
But we rejoice for what we've got.
We have each day and what it brings
And on our pensions live like kings.
For the press that accuses what we take
To coin a phrase, "Let them eat cake."
We've paid our share for unused knowledge
As the kids are now all done with college.
We complain to them about our health
As they worry about our dwindling wealth.
And though our wardrobes may be plain
We'll suffer no more labor or pain.
Now it's with cane we do our strut
And if we can't drive - we still can putt.
We're mean and tough, meet all demands,
Why, M&M's melt in our hands.
Yes, we're still here, and it does delight
us
That you join our fight against arthritis.
But we ask you make a pledge today
That you'll be careful what you say.
We have to spread "Over the Hill" fear
Or we'll have those young folks over here.
Bathroom
troubles
Three old men
are sitting on the porch of a retirement
home. The first says, "Fellas, I got real
problems. I'm seventy years old. Every
morning at seven o'clock I get up and I try
to urinate. All day long I try to urinate.
They give me all kinds of medicine but
nothing helps."
The second old man says, "You think you have
problems. I'm eighty years old. Every
morning at 8:00 I get up and try to move my
bowels. I try all day long. They give me all
kinds of stuff but nothing helps."
Finally the third old man speaks up, "Fellas:
I'm ninety years old. Every morning at 7:00
sharp I urinate. Every morning at 8:00 I
move my bowels. Every morning at 9:00 sharp
I wake up."
Eating some
peanuts
There was an
old man whose family could no longer afford
to take care of him. So the family decided
that a nusring for the aged would be
appropriate.
Of course the old man rejected the idea, but
no sooner he was convinced that it was the
right thing to do. On his first day at the
home, he spent most of his time laying in
bed reflecting on life, feeling lonely. A
while later, an orderly stopped by to seee
how the old man's first day was going.
"How you doing today?", she said to the old
man, "First day I see". The Old man replied
with a nod.
In no time the two began talking up a storm.
As the conversation began to drag on, the
orderly was eyeing the room filled with
fresh flowers, cards and balloons from
friends and relatives. She noticed a bowl
full of peanuts sitting on top of the table
next to the bed, and help herself to a
handful.
As the two continued to converse with each
other, the orderly kept eating more helpings
of the peanuts. She look at her watch and
noticed that nearly 2 hours had passed and
said, "My goodness, the time has gone by
quickly. I have to tend to other people here
too." "That's okay.", said the old man, "I
feel so much better being able to talk to
someone." Looking into the bowl the orderly
said, "I feel awful! I ate almost all of
your peanuts!" The old man responded,
"That's okay. Ever since I got these false
teeth, all I could do was suck the chocolate
off of them anyhow."
