A
couple of senior couples were strolling along, wives in front, and
husbands in back chatting. Bernie turns to Marv and says,
"Ya
know, we went to a new restaurant last night and had the best meal
ever. Great prices, too."
Marv
smiles and says, "Well, we like to eat out too. So what was the
name of this fine new eatery?"
Bernie
says, "You're going to have to help me out here a little. What's
the name of that pretty flower smells sweet, often red, grows on a
thorny bush?"
Marv
grins again, "Well now, Bernie, sounds like a rose to me..."
"Yes,
yes, that's it!" cries Bernie, and then he calls ahead to his
wife...
"Rose!
Rose, honey, what was the name of that little restaurant we ate at
last night?"

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?"
Editor Note...Thanks Kathy...

the 83 year-old finished her annual physical exam, the doctor said,
"You're in fine shape for your age, Mrs. Mallory. But, tell me,
do you still have intercourse???
"Just
a minute," she said. "I'll have to ask my husband!"
She
stepped out into the very crowded reception room and yelled out loud,
"Henry, do we still have intercourse?"
There
was a complete hush in the room. You could hear a pin drop.
Henry
answered Impatiently, "If I told you once, I've told you a
hundred times, we have Blue Cross!"
