For the Seniors amongst us –
People ask me what I’d most appreciate getting for my eighty-seventh birthday. I tell them, a paternity suit – George Burns
A few days after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, a Bar Harbor man answered his door to find two grim-faced Harbor Master officers.
“We’re sorry Mr. Flynn, but we have some information about your wife,”
“Tell me! Did you find her?!” Cedric Flynn asked.
One officer said, “We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news”!
Fearing the worst, Mr. Flynn said, “Give me the bad news first.”
The officer said, “I’m sorry to tell you, sir, but this
morning we found your wife’s body in the bay.”
“Lord sufferin’ Jesus!” exclaimed Flynn. What could possibly be the good news?”
The officer continued, “When we pulled her up, she had 12 of the best looking Atlantic Maine Lobsters that you’ve ever seen clinging to her……..Haven’t seen lobsters like that since the 60’s, and we feel you are entitled to a share of the catch.”
Stunned, Mr. Flynn demanded, “If that’s the good news, then what’s the great news?”
The officer replied,
“We’re going to pull her up again tomorrow”
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been – Mark Twain
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?”
“Well,” he said, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
“No” he said. “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”
ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON … OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone – Jim Fiebig

This is NOT a joke. If you were able to pass these 3 tests, you
can cancel your annual visit to your neurologist. Your brain is great and you’re far from having a close relationship with Alzheimer.
Congratulations!
Oh. One more test…. Find the 44th USA President.
Well, congratulations, you’re not color blind either!

Brilliant, loved these, have a great weekend 😊
You too, Elaine. I am ageing dis-gracefully 🙂
Too late. Already saw the neurologist today! 🙂
Uh-oh! A necessary ‘evil’ at times 🙂
I saw the neurologist for my feet, not my head (I have lymphedema in my legs due to chemo). I go by my look and feel, not my actual BD. It works for me. Nice post! Have a wonderful weekend!
You too Miriam ! I hope your health is improving 🙂
Thank you! Everything is okay except my right leg and the feet. This is my new normal!
🙂
🙂 🙂
Thanks Raili. I don’t know where you get them from but they make me laugh.
Great 🙂 I have a secret stash !
Reblogged this on Opher's World and commented:
Made me laugh/
Once again, thank you Opher !
🤣🤣
Wow. This was many awesome posts all rolled into one. How old are you … er, approximately? You do know that you can always say, “I’m #. Approximately.” Right? And that you can say any age you want? THERE’S NO LAW.
Love your sense of humor.
And this: The idea is to die young as late as possible – Ashley Montagu
I like the idea of dying young as late as possible. I’m, er, 16 going on ….approximately 🙂
The joke about the lobsters had me in stitches – I’m a bad person; it’s always the cruellest jokes that make me laugh the hardest
😀 😀 😀
But that is testament to the appreciation of good humour 🙂
