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."

The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.

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 "

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 coffeemaker.

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

Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing.


--- 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.

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!

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year the staff at    Beloit College  in    Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list: 
The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1990. 




They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up. 



Their lifetime has always included AIDS.  



Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.  



The CD was introduced the year before they were born.  



They have always had an answering machine. 




They have always had cable.  




They cannot fathom not having a remote control.  



Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.  


Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.


They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.  


They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.


They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.


They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane.." 


They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.


McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.  


They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.  


Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list. Notice the larger type, that's 
for those of you who have trouble reading..


So have a nice day!!!!! It is good to have friends who know about these things and are still alive and kicking!!!!

                                      Yep 46 isn't old. Aren't you lucky, you don't have too far back to remember your younger days. Wait 'til you start pushing 70

If only I was 46 again and know  what I know now. 1 ex wife for starters.
 
How Old is grandma

Stay with this -- try guessing Grandma's age.  Answer might blow you away.  
  

One evening a grandson  was talking to his grandmother  about current events. 
The grandson asked his grandmother what she
 thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and  just things in general.  

The Grandmother replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: 
'       television  
'        penicillin  
'        polio  shots 
'        frozen  foods 
'        Xerox  
'        contact  lenses 
'        Frisbees and 
'        the  pill


There were no:
'        credit  cards 
'        laser beams or  
'        ball-point  pens


Man had not  yet  invented: 
'        pantyhose  
'        air conditioners  
'        dishwashers 
'        clothes dryers 
'        and the clothes  were hung out to dry  in the fresh air and 
'     man hadn't yet  walked on the moon


Your Grandfather and I got married first, and then lived together.

Every family had a father  and a mother. 
Until I was 25, I called every man
 older than me, "Sir." 
And after I turned 25, I still called
 policemen and every man with  a title, "Sir." 
We were before gay-rights,
 computer-dating, dual careers,  daycare centers, and group therapy. 
Our lives were governed by the Ten
 Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.   
We were taught to know the
 difference between right and wrong  and to stand up and take responsibility  for our actions. 
Serving your country was a privilege; living
 in this country was a bigger privilege. 
We thought fast food was what people
 ate during Lent.   
Having a meaningful relationship  meant getting along with your cousins.   
Draft dodgers were those who closed front  doors as the evening breeze started.   
Time-sharing meant time the family  spent together in the evenings  and weekends -not purchasing  condominiums.


We never heard of FM radios, tape decksCD's, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.    
We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny,  and the President's speeches on our radios.    
And I don't ever remember any kid blowing  his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.    
If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan '  on it, it was junk.   
The term 'making out' referred to how
 you did on your school exam.   
Pizza Hut, McDonald's,
 and instant coffee were unheard of. 
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you
 could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents. 
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar,
 and a Pepsi were all a nickel. 
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could
 spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter  and 2 postcards. 
You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600,
 but who could afford one? 
Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.


  
In my day: 
'       "grass"  was mowed, 
'       "coke" was a cold drink,  
'      "pot" was something your  mother cooked in and 
'      "rock music" was  your grandmother's lullaby. 
'      "Aids" were  helpers in the Principal's office,
'       "chip" meant  a piece of wood,
'      "hardware"  was found in a hardware store and.
'     "software" wasn't even a word.


And we were the last generation to  actually believe that a lady needed  a husband to have a baby. 
No wonder people call us "old and
 confused" and say there is a generation gap.  
How old do  you think I am? 
I bet you have this old lady
 in mind.  You are in for a shock! 
Read on to see -- pretty scary if
 you think about it and pretty  sad at the same time.


  
How old is grandma?  Are you  ready?  
 


 
 

 

This woman would be only 59 years oldBorn in 1952.

GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO THINK  ABOUT.  
PASS THIS ON  TO THE OLD ONES.    
THE YOUNG ONES WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
