Chapter 563

Old_Grey_Duck blessed us with this gem!!!

It was indeed a “May-December Wedding”. She was 23 and he was just shy of his 75th birthday. After the ceremony, off they went to a quaint B&B for the Honeymoon. The following morning, the groom came down the stairs with a twinkle in his eye, a smile on his face, and a spring in his step. Not too long after that, the bride came out of the room, a total wreck. Hair a mess, having trouble walking, and moaning.

“Oh my goodness!” the B&B Manager stated. “What happened to you?”

The young bride looked up and muttered; “When he said he had been saving up for over 40 years, I thought he meant MONEY.”

Yesterday, my daughter emailed me, asking why I didn’t do something useful with my time.

“Like sitting around the pool, drinking beer isn’t a good thing?” I asked.

Talking about my “doing something useful” seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She is “only thinking of me,” she said, and suggested 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 email saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.

She replied, “Are you crazy? You’re 75-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 and prepaid for five jumps a week!”

The line went dead.

Life as a Senior Citizen may not be getting any easier, but it can be fun.
