    A very elderly gentleman, (mid nineties) very well dressed, hair well
    groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel smelling slightly of a good
    after-shave, presenting a well looked-after image, walks into an upscale
    co cktail lounge. Seated at the bar is an elderly lady, about mid-eighties.


    The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her, orders a drink, takes a
    sip, turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"

    An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.
    He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a
    set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
    The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor
    said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you
    can hear again."
    The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit
    around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

    Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement centre were sitting on a bench
    under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old
    now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do
    you feel?"
    Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
    "Really!? Like a newborn baby!?"
    "Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

    An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after
    eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two
    gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new
    restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.
    The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"


    The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name
    of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... The one that's red
    and has thorns."
    "Do you mean a rose?"
    "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the
    kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to
    last night?

    Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being
    discharged.
    However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly
    gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet
    who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
    After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him
    to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
    "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing
    out of her hospital gown."

    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 asks.
    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.
    "Where's my toast?"

    A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: "So I hear you're
    getting married?"
    "Yep!"
    "Do I know her?"
    "Nope!"
    "This woman, is she good looking?"
    "Not really."
    "Is she a good cook?"
    "Naw, she can't cook too well."
    "Does she have lots of money?"
    "Nope! Poor as a church mouse."
    "Well, then, is she good in bed?"
    "I don't know."
    "Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"
    "Because she can still drive after dark!"

    A man was telling his neighbour, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It
    cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."
    "Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
    "Twelve thirty ."

    Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few
    days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous
    young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris
    and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"


    Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be
    cheerful.'"


    The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart
    murmur; be careful.'"

    A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled
    himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he
    ordered a banana split.


    The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"


    "No," he replied, "Arthritis."
