Sure, men & women both age, but
for some reason women seem to stay happier.
More of them look like this:
than this:
It seems to me (of course, I’m a woman) that old men get more
like this:
They probably all have the same blood type—B negative.
They’ve even made some movies about it:
These guys (below) should have an optirectomy.
That’s a surgery that severs the cord
connecting the optic nerve to the rectum.
Hopefully, that will put a stop to them
having such a shitty outlook on life!
My son found this for me. My elementary school principal used to show it at assemblies in the 40's:
At least we TRY to do better:
How about a
joke stolen from fresh off the internet?
While out
for an afternoon drive, an elderly couple stop at a coffee shop for lunch. Back on the road afterwards, the woman
realizes she’s left her glasses there & asks her husband to go back. By then they’ve traveled quite a distance
& have to go even further before they can find a place to turn around. The old man moans & complains all the way
back. He calls his wife every name he
can think of. When they finally get back
to the coffee shop & she gets out to get her glasses, he yells at her, “And
while you’re there, stupid, you might as well get my wallet, too!”
Watch this instructional video (maybe the beer helped):
I LOVE this :) The kids really enjoyed "The Sunshine Makers."
ReplyDeleteMy favorite comic had the line: "He's worse than critical. He's downright insulting." I couldn't stop laughing for a long time after reading that one :0)
Did you see any resemblance to Bud in that cartoon?
DeleteYOu really have a talent for this funny stuff, this one is great. My favorite was the optirectomy, my husband definitely needs that on both eyes. Thanks for making me laugh so early on a Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks--I wonder if Medicare covers that? I think it's much more important than Viagra!
DeleteHehe ... good one Fran - I think old men are probably grumpier than old women (no scientific info available - just an opinion)
ReplyDelete... mind you, someone told that grumpiness in old age is a 'right' something that has been earned - like farting in public and everyone just shakes their heads and sighs ... what do you think?
So good to see you back! My condolences for Stoffel.
DeleteI think you guys believe it's a right because you've spent so many years working on it!!
I'm still LAUGHING about optirectomy. A positive outlook goes a long way. I'm positive I'm looking forward to living a long time as a crazy, happy old lady. It's one way I can get even with my kids. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou're always welcome in the Crazy Old Lady's Club--there's room for everybody!!
DeleteLove the funny stuff you post it dried my tears and put new ones there i am needing more kleenex but in a good way now...Thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you! The world needs to remember forever what happened Friday, but it also needs humor--perhaps now more than ever!!
DeleteGrumpiness makes me really grouchy.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
What do you suppose the connection is?
DeleteThanks for putting a much needed smile on my face today.
ReplyDeleteAny time, my friend!!
DeleteFran,
ReplyDeleteI really like that video i can see why your principal made you watch that at assemblies because it probably made kids bright like you.

So do I, Ruby--& that was a VERY sweet comment!!
DeleteFrom MELYNDA:
ReplyDeleteWell if that wasn't a load of truth I don't know what is! I had to giggle considering my father in laws this last week. :)
Fathers-in-law are the same as everyone else!
DeleteThank you for sharing such funny meaning full videos:)
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting for your blog and Chatty Crone's too. She is one writer who never fails to make us laugh.
I've loved THE SUNSHINE MAKERS since I was about 8 years old!!
DeleteWhy did the soccer ball quit?
ReplyDeleteHe was tired of getting kicked around.
That's it. That's the only clean joke I can remember right now. And it has nothing to do with being grumpy. :)
Yeah, but--a joke is a joke!
