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?

 

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And whatdo 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 til l 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 PR AYER : 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.

 

Always Remember This:

You don't stop laughing because you grow old,

You grow old because you stop

laughing.
