JOKE OF THE MONTH

Three ladies took a walk One remarked   "Windy, isn’t it?"     The 2nd replied "No, it's Thursday"          the 3rd said "So am I. Let's drink."

A 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 gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased you can hear again."

At a certain age, less is certainly more

by: Jacquelyn Mitchard | from: AARP Bulletin | September 8, 2011

Let it go. Here's to no more … more. Give it up:

1. The three-dozen-egg carton, the 2,000-pack of Sweet'N Low

2. Super-sized fries (no one in the minivan to take the last handful, or take the edge off the guilt).

3. The minivan. How about a snazzy car, a smart car, even a wiseguy car?

4. A brand-new model four-over-four house — even on the golf course. Even if your kids live next door. Especially if your kids live next door.

5. A one-horse open sleigh. Yes, you've been meaning to get the horse but …

6. A Costco membership. You'll never need that many paper towels, unless you run a car wash. You'll never need that much toilet paper unless you run … out.

7. The gym ultra-membership. How about the dog, the shoes, the SPF 50 and the open road?

8. Those seven, nine or 20 unfinished quilts and birdhouses.

9. All those teaspoons, fruit spoons, salt spoons, cheese knives, crab picks and lobster crackers liberated from the restaurant along with the extra lemon, the fistful of sugar bags, the basket of rolls.

10. Fourteen matching place settings 14 unmatched place settings are more fun, funky and functional.

11. Just one extra shot — tequila, espresso, Botox.

12. Your very own chickens (really, really not).

13. Four-inch heels for the wedding reception.

14. Another cat.

15. Another hat.

16. Another hobby.

17. A bigger flat screen.

18. A bigger boat.

19. A bigger mortgage.

20. More than 700 channels in one night.

21. More than 700 calories in one hand.

22. Double cheese.

23. 3-D.

24. Four-wheelers.

25. Quintuplets.
