A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary.
Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town,
"What a peaceful and loving couple."
A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to
the secret of their long and happy marriage.
 
"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man.
"We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom
of the canyon by pack mule.
 
We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled.
My wife quietly said, 'That's once.'
 
We proceeded a little further and the mule stumbled again.
 
Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.'
 
We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled the third time.
My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the mule dead.
 
I started an angry protest over her treatment of the mule,
when she looked at me and quietly said...'That's once.'
And we lived happily ever after .....

Bill Clinton is getting $12 million bucks for his memoirs.
Hillary Clinton got $8 million for hers.
Do you realize that is $20 million dollars for memories from two people who for eight years repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

 

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

 

Exercise for Seniors

 
For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building
our arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this regimen!
Three days a week works well.
 
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room
at each side. With a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms
straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you can.
 
Try to reach a full minute, then relax.
 
Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
 
After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks and then 50-lb.potato
sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack
in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
 
After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes
in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it

 

What is Old?
 
"OLD" IS WHEN.....Your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love," and you answer, "Pick one, I can't do both!" 
 
"OLD" IS WHEN.. Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot. 

"OLD" IS WHEN..... A sexy babe catches your eye and your pacemaker opens the garage door. 
"OLD" IS WHEN....Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face. 
"OLD" IS WHEN.....You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along. 

"OLD" IS WHEN..... You are cautioned to slow down by...the doctor instead of by the police.
OLD" IS WHEN....."Getting a little action" means I don't need to take any fiber today. 
 
OLD" IS WHEN....."Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot. 
 
"OLD" IS WHEN.....An "all-nighter" means not getting up to pee. 
 

 

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

 
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
 
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?
 
Think before you continue reading...
 
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
 
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
 
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
 
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
 
However, The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop sign, then drive off with the old friend for some beers.

  Be careful. Here's a brand new approach to an old scam which has popped up in our area.

A young woman approaches at a stoplight and begins to wash your car window while you wait at the intersection. At the same time another one opens your back door and steals everything she can grab.

Don't leave packages visible in back seat. If your windows get washed, don't get distracted and look at them.

Attached are photos taken during one the stops. Please inform your friends of this new scam.

They got me four times yesterday at the same intersection.

"Geezers" (slang for an old man) are easy to spot:

At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Geezers hold their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old Geezers remember World War I, the Depression, World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, ! Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age
and the Moon Landing, not to mention Vietnam.

If you bump into an Old Geezer on the sidewalk, he will apologize. If  you pass an Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women. Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.

Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth on TV or in movies. Old Geezers have
moral courage. They seldom brag unless it's about their grandchildren.

It's the Old Geezers who know our great country is protected, not by politicians or police, but by the young men and women in the military serving their country.

This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values. We need them now more than ever.

Thank God for Old Geezers!
