Getting Old
I hope this gives you a chuckle or a fright maybe.
One Thing We Can Do
At a nursing home a group of seniors were sitting around talking about
all their ailments.
"My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift
this cup of coffee," said one.
"Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad I can't even see
my coffee."
"I couldn't even mark an 'X' at election time, my hands are so
crippled," volunteered a third.
"What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you! said a fourth.
"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a
fifth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.
"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk!"
exclaimed another.
"I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said an elderly gent.
"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man
as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement.
"Well, count your blessings," said one woman cheerfully, "thankfully,
we can all still drive."
