HOW TO PASS THE TIME IN THE CLINIC WAITING ROOM

An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They've been married for 62 years and he'll be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, it's all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do.

What a delight! Thanks to Paul (A.).

MIND THE GPS INSTRUCTIONS

From the heraldsun.com:

An ELDERLY British couple is recovering today after a faulty GPS system led them to crash into a 19th-century German church, causing $37,000 worth of damage.

The couple, who cannot be named under German data protection laws, were traveling Friday from Austria to France guided by their GPS system. The 76-year-old husband, who was driving, followed instructions to "turn right" but ended up hitting the chapel near Freundpolz, Bavaria.

The man and his 78-year-old wife were taken to the hospital suffering from shock and bruises, before returning by train to Britain.
....

Karl-Heinz Krueger, a passing motorist, told a local radio station, "The old man was more confused than the woman. He kept saying, It's the machine - it told me to turn this way, but I suddenly ran out of road."

This story is NOT funny. Do NOT laugh.

I confess I laughed, but it's not my fault. It's Andrew Gern's fault for posting the link at The Lead.

I pray for quick healing for the couple's shock and bruises.

Write It Down!

There was an elderly couple who had been married for ages and ages. He was starting to have problems with his memory, so Mrs. Elderly Couple figured out that if Mr. Elderly Couple wrote things down in his little notebook, there was much less strife in the household.

One evening as they were in bed reading, she said, "I feel a little hungry; I'd love to have a snack!" He said, "Well, what do you want? I'll go in the kitchen and prepare it!" She said, "Well, some ice cream would be nice! Write it down. Also, some chocolate syrup on the ice cream would be wonderful! Write it down." "Anything else?" he asked. "Well, perhaps some whipped cream and toasted almonds! Have you been writing this down?" "I don't need to write this down; I can remember it," he said. She said, "You'd better write it down because you know what happens when you don't." He said, "Ice cream with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and toasted almonds. What's so dang hard about that?" "I still think you should write it down," she said. He wandered off to the kitchen, mumbling, and she returned to her book.

About twenty minutes later he returned carrying a tray with pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, butter and maple syrup. "I told you to write it down," she said. "I wanted fried eggs, not scrambled!"

Padre Not-Doug

Padre Mickey sent this joke to me. Does he think I'm old, or something? The Music Director at his church told the joke Sunday during the announcements. The congregation at Padre's church celebrates a festival or has a party with delicious food nearly every Sunday. They tell jokes during the announcements. They have a band playing at their services. I want a church like Padre Mickey's.
