TRUE LOVE

An elderly senior couple were invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening.

The elderly woman was impressed by the way her lady friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.

The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the husband was in the living room, the woman leaned over to her host to say, 'I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your husband all those loving pet names'.

The host hung her head. 'I have to tell you the truth,' she said, 'his name slipped my mind about 10 years ago, and I'm scared to death to ask the old crank what his name is.'


Don't blame me. Blame Doug. And I do blame Doug, because he often sends me jokes about old people. Does Doug think that I need to be reminded that I'm old?
