Senior Citizens
Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time, as if sitting around the pool, and drinking sweet tea isn't a good thing.
Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She is "only thinking of me," she said, and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the fellas.
So, I did, and when I got home, I decided to play a prank on her. I sent her an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You're 80 years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.
Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.
"Oh man, am I in trouble," I said. "I signed up for five jumps a week!"
The line went dead.
Life as a Senior Citizen isn't getting any easier, but sometimes, it can be fun.

Old sailor,
I am 84 and love a sense of humor. Your note was fantasticly funny. I am getting ready to go to have chemo for a malignant tumor and it makes me somber just before going.
Ever since I read this I have sat here with happy tears from my belly laugh.
There is a wise old saying "When the student is ready the teachers will appear." Thanks professor.

Thank you for your reply.
I like to make people smile,
have a good day and along with the chemo enjoy a shot of bourbon.
