An American tourist found himself in a sleepy

An American tourist found himself in a sleepy country village, and asked one of the locals the age of the oldest inhabitant. “Well, sir,” replied the villager, “we ain’t got one now. He died last week.”

Grandpa: You youngsters are soft and lazy

Grandpa: You youngsters are soft and lazy today. When I was your age I got up at six o’clock every morning and walked five or six miles before breakfast. I used to think nothing of it. Fred: I don’t blame you, Grandpa. I wouldn’t think,much of it myself.

Worried because they hadn’t heard

Worried because they hadn’t heard anything for days from the widow in the neighboring apartment, Mrs. Silver said to her son, “Timmy, would you go next door and see how old Mrs. Kirkland is?” A few minutes later, Timmy returned. “Well,” asked Mrs. Silver, “is she all right?” “She’s fine, except that she’s angrywith you.” “With me?” the woman exclaimed. “Whatever for?” “She said ‘It’s none of your business how old she is,’ snickered Timmy.

A wise old

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action. The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, “You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. In fact, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I’ll give you each a dollar if you’ll promise to come around every day and do your thing.” The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-u p job on the trash cans. After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but this time he had a sad smile on his face. “This recession’s really putting a big dent in my income,” he told them. “From now on, I’ll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans.” The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they did accept his offer and continued their afternoon ruckus. A few days later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed their way down the street. “Look,” he said, “I haven’t received my Social Security check yet, so I’m not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?” “A lousy quarter?” the drum leader exclaimed. “If you think we’re going to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter, you’re nuts! No way, mister. We quit!” And the old man enjoyed peace.

Two 80 year old men are driving down the road

Two 80 year old men are driving down the road when they hear the Ex-Lax commercial end with the statement: “It makes you feel young again.” John looks at Sylvester and says, “We need to pull over and get a bottle of that stuff!” Sylvester agrees and the two old men pull over and get a bottle of Ex-Lax. They both take two tablespoons each and continue to drive. About one mile later Sylvester asks, “Well John, do you feel young yet?” “No,” replies John. So they pull over and take four more tablespoons a piece and continue to drive down the road. A couple of miles later, Sylvester asks, “John, do you feel younger?” “No,” replies John, “but I sure did a childish thing!”
