Three sisters age 92, 94, and 96 live in a house together.
One night, the 96-year-old sister draws a bath, puts her foot in and pauses.
She yells down the stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?”
The 94-year-old sister yells back, “I don’t know, I’ll come up and see.”
She starts up the stairs and pauses, then she yells, “Was I going up the stairs or coming down?”
The 92-year-old sister was sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says,“I sure hope I never get that forgetful.”She knocks on wood for good measure.
She, then, yells,“I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I seewho’s at the door.”
Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors
and lawyers.
One evening, they chatted after having dinner together. They
discussed the 95th birthday gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who moved to Florida.
The first said, “You know I had a big house built for Mama.”
The second said, “And, I had a large theater built in the house.”
The third said, “And, I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her.”
The fourth said, “You know how Mama loved reading the Bible, and you know she can’t read anymore because she can’t see very well. Well, I met this preacher who told me about a parrot who could recite the entire Bible. It took ten preachers almost 8 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $50,000 a year for five years to the church but it was worth it.
Mama only has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it.”
The three other brothers were impressed. After the celebration, Mama sent out her “Thank You” notes.
She wrote:
Milton, the house you built is so huge that I live in only one room but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.”
“Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home. I have my groceries delivered so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks.”
“Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound and it can hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I’ve lost my hearing,
and I’m nearly blind. I’ll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the
same.”
“Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you so much.”
A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question.
He tapped him on the shoulder.
The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.
For a few seconds, everything was silent in the cab.
Then, the still shaking driver said, “I’m sorry but you scared the daylights out of me.”
The frightened passenger apologized to the driver. He said, “I didn’t realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten you so much.”
The driver replied, “No, no, I’m sorry, it’s entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab. I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.”
Bill and his wife Blanche go to the state fair every year.
Every year, Bill would say, “Blanche, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.”
Blanche always replied, “I know Bill but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks,
and fifty bucks is fifty bucks!”
One year Bill and Blanche went to the fair, and Bill said,
“Blanche, I’m 75 years old, if I don’t ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.”
To this, Blanche replied, “Bill that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks.”
The pilot overheard the couple and said, “Folks I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don’t say a word I won’t charge you a penny but if you say one word it’s fifty bucks.”
Bill and Blanche agreed; so up they went.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.
He did his daredevil tricks over and over again but still not a word.
When they landed, the pilot turned to Bill and said, “By golly, I did everything
I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t. I’m impressed! “
Bill replied, “Well, to tell you the truth I almost said something when
Blanche fell out, but you know, Fifty bucks is fifty bucks!“
After leaving Walgreens the other day, I started pondering about certain situations.

Why do drug stores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front counter?
~~~~~
Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?

Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage?

Ever wonder why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
~~~~~
Why can’t women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
~~~~~
Why don’t you ever see the headline ‘Psychic Wins Lottery’?

Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?

Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do ‘practice’?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful, aged poodle named Cuddles along for the company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long Cuddles discovers that she’s lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in trouble now!”
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on the bones with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?”
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
“Whew!” says the leopard, “That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!”
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”
The old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now?”, but instead of running, the dog sits down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says: “Where’s that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!”

To brighten up your spirits here is a silly joke.

LOLOL … Have a Happy Weekend 😎
There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
“Well, what are you gonna do about it?” he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
“Come on, man,” the biker says, “I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can’t stand to see a man crying.”
“This is the worst day of my life,” I say.
“I’m a complete failure.
I was late for a meeting and my boss fired me.
When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don’t have any insurance.
I left my wallet in the cab I took home.
I found my wife with another man … and … then my dog bit me.
“So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all.
I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve, and then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!”
“But hell enough about me, How are you doing?”
