old folk

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things.
They decide to go to the doctor for 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.
His wife asks, "Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen" he replies.
"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. You'd better write it down because you know you'll 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, so you'd better write it down!" she retorts.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Leave me alone! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!" Then he grumbles 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 and says - "Where's my toast?

I hear one of the nice things about making it to this age is you can hide your own easter eggs! Yippie!

Just got back from visiting my 91 year old mom and dad. What you related is no joke, that's the way life is when you're that old. Hell, they even laugh about it.

The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

The development where my parents live is mostly retirees. (In South Florida...who'd have guessed?)
They all have a running joke making fun of themselves:
"If you can't remember something, forget about it!"

A young man, goes to visit his dad in an old folks home.
The young man asks his dad how everything is going.
His very old dad replies; "I love it here! This is the greatest place, ever! Every night, before bed, they give me a warm glass of milk and a Viagra pill!"
The son, very indignant responds; "They what? They give you a warm glass of milk and a Viagra pill before bed-time? That's wrong!"
The young man stalks angrily, out of his dads room and confronts one of the aids.
EXCUSE me! The son hollers at one of the aids. "My father, just told me that each night before bed, you give him a warm glass of milk and a Viagra pill!" "Is that true?" the young man asks.
The aid politely responds; "Yes, sir!" "That is correct. Let me explain. The warm milk helps them to get to sleep. The Viagra pill keeps them from rolling out of bed!"

Hi Judith,
It's a laugh and a joke about gettin' old, now I'm gettin'there!!!, turned 60 this year!! Any way, funny about all these storys about gettin' old and,"losing it!!" Well, my brother-in-law's dad died a couple of years ago at the ripe old age of 99! He came down with some minor condition that was "misdiagnosed" and what ever they did in the hospital, it killed him!! S.A.T. Any way he was living in a residence place for seniors, got around on his own, had a sharp mind, was constantly pinching ladies on the butt, and generally acting like an old skydiver!! (he wasn't though) Jim, my brother-in-law said that in his room he had a half a fifth of good whiskey and a box of good cigars. Like this dude was carrying on like he didn't know he was 99!!! Right on!!!
