Old Age Blues

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.


"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"


"Sure."


"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.


"No, I can remember it."


"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?"


He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."

"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down." she says.


Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!" Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.


She stares at the plate for a moment, then asks, "Where's my toast?"

Three old guys are out walking.

First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"

Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"


Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."

Thanks for Rollie for sending this thru e-mail and for you for postintg it in our blogsite. As we are getting older hope no one in our batch will be like these old guys. Naku mahirap ang maging mali-mali at makalimutin. Baka makalimutan natin and reunion natin sa 2010 at walang maka-attend. ha ha ha.

Three (3) signs of getting old:

1. Graying hair,
2. Loss of memory,
3. I forgot already!
