A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him.

“Pardon me,” she said, “I’m sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It’s just that you look just like my son, who just died recently.”

“I’m very sorry,” replied the young man, “is there anything I can do for you?”

“Yes,” she said, “As I’m leaving, can you say ‘Good bye, Mother’? It would make me feel so much better.”

“Sure,” answered the young man.

As the old woman was leaving, he called out, “Goodbye, Mother!”

As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $
127.
50.

“How can that be?” He asked, “I only purchased a few things!”

“Your mother said that you would pay for her,” said the clerk.

Three elderly ladies were at the doctor for a cognitive reasoning test.

The doctor says to the first gal, “What is three times three?” “297,” was her prompt reply. “Ummm humm,” says the doc.

The doctor says to the second lady, “It’s your turn now. What is three times three?” “Friday,” replies the second lady. “Ummm humm…”

Then the doc says to the third, “Okay, mam, your turn. What’s three times three?”

“Nine,” she says. “That’s wonderful!” says the doc. “Tell me, how did you get that?”

“Simple,” she says, beaming… “I subtracted 297 from Friday!”

A couple of senior couples were strolling along, wives in front, husbands in back chatting. Bernie turns to Marv and says,”Ya know, we went to a new restaurant last night and had the best meal ever. Great prices, too.”

Marv smiles and says, “Well, we like to eat out too. So what was the name of this fine new eatery?”

Bernie says, “You’re going to have to help me out here a little. What’s the name of that pretty flower, smells sweet, often red, grows on a thorny bush?”

Marv grins again, “Well now, Bernie, sounds like a rose to me…”

“Yes, yes, that’s it!” cries Bernie, then he calls ahead to his wife…

“Rose! Rose, honey, what was the name of that little restaurant we ate at last night?”

Two very elderly ladies were enjoying the sunshine on a park bench in Miami.

They had been meeting in that park every sunny day, for over 12 years, chatting and enjoying each others friendship.

One day, the younger of the two ladies, turns to the other and says, “Please don’t be angry with me dear, but I am embarrassed. After all these years, what is your name? I am trying to remember, but I just can’t.”

The older friend stares at her, looking very distressed, says nothing for two full minutes, and finally with tearful eyes, says…
“How soon do you have to know?”

My phone bill was past due and I needed to change my service, so I had to visit the local Bell Atlantic Office. The line wasn’t clearly formed, and there was an old man with a cane nearby me.

I wasn’t really sure who was next and when we got to the front of the line, the man gestured to me and said, “After you.”

I smiled at him and said, “No, please, after you. I have all day.”

The he shook his head sadly and repeated, “No, sonny, you go on ahead. My doctor says I have at least six months.”
