SERENITY
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?"
Reporter 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.
I have bouts with dementia, have poor circulation,
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore, can't remember
if I'm 89 or 98, and 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.
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 coffee maker.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says,
"For fast relief"
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!
