A young man was running through Central park
when he noticed a very old man crying on a park bench. He stopped
and asked if he could help the old man. The old man told him that
he was married for 47 years & that his wife passed away 2 yeas
ago. He said last year he married a 27 year old woman & that they
make love 3 times a night. The young man responded, "why are you
crying?" The old man responded, "I forgot where I lived!"

An elderly couple, both avid golfers, were killed in an automobile
accident. Upon entering heaven, they find beautiful golf courses
with perfect fairways. The greens are made of velvet, the water
hazards are crystal clear, and the sand traps are made of gold
dust. As they finish the eighteenth hole, the man is two under
par although he never broke 90 on earth. The woman, who never
broke 100, is surprised to find herself one under par. He looks
at her and says, "you and your bran muffins! We could've been
here ten years ago!"

pair of alligator cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he
buys a pair and wears them home,asking Bessie, "So, do you notice
anything different about me?"
"What's different? It's the same old shirt you wore yesterday
and the same old pants. What's different?"
Frustrated, Sam goes into the bathroom, undresses and comes out
completely naked, wearing only his new boots. Again he says,"Bessie,
do you notice anything different?"
"What's different, Sam? It's hanging down today; it was
hanging down yesterday and will be hanging down tomorrow."
Angrily Sam yells, "Do you know why it's hanging down?
'Cause it's looking at my new boots!!!!!"
Bessie replies, " You shoulda bought a hat!"

Sadie and Esther, two elderly widows, are sitting in a Catskill
hotel lobby, people-watching. "You know," says Sadie, "I've been
reading this "Sex and Marriage" book and all they talk about is

all they talk about. Tell me, Esther, when your husband was alive,
did you two ever have mutual orgasm?"
"No," says Esther, "I think we had Allstate."

A doctor making his rounds at a rest home decides
to check out the cognitive skills off three old men living there
with a simple math question.
He asks the first old man, "What is 3+2?"
The old man thinks a moment then responds, "257."
The doctor asks the second man, "What is 3+2?"
The second old man ponders a moment and says, "Tuesday."
The doctor then turns to the third old man and asks, "What is
3+2?"
The third old man blurts, "Five!"
The impressed doctor says, "Good! Now how did you deduce that?"
The third old man says, "It was easy. I just subtracted 257 from
Tuesday!"

Linda Jean, Bloomington, IN
An elderly woman, after painstaking discussions and much
thought, decides to place her husband in a nursing home.
The two of them go to the local home to visit. The husband is
seated in a comfortable chair to watch the television while his
wife talks to the director of the home and takes a tour. At one
point, the elderly man starts to lean slowly to his left. A nurse
notices this and rushes over to him. She places a pillow on his
left side. A few moments later, he begins to lean slowly to his
right. The nurse again rushes over and this time places a pillow
on his right side. Shortly after this, his wife returns from the
tour. "What do you think?" She asks him. He replies, "I don't
know about this place, they won't let me pass gas!"
A teenager climbs on a city bus. The kid has
spiked hair colored green, yellow, and orange. His clothing
is a tattered mix of rags, and his legs are partially bare
and he has no shoes on. His entire face and body are riddled
with piercing jewelry, and his earrings are big, bright, yellow,
and adorned with colored feathers.
The young fellow sits down in a vacant seat, which happens
to be directly across the aisle from an old man who stares
at the kid for the next ten miles.
Finally, the self-conscious kid yells out, "What are you looking
at, old man? Didn't you ever do anything wild when you were
young?
Without so much as blinking, the old man replies, "Well, yes,
I did. Back when I was very young and in the Navy, I got really
drunk in Singapore and had sex with a parrot.
I've just been sitting here thinking that you might be my
son."
Fran Beall, Bogart, GA

A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?
