Hard of hearing
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!"
Body ache and loss of motor skills
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center 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".
Forgetful
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?
Husband & Wife being forgetful
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 to 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?"
Heart Problem
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.'"
