I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, at least I still have my driver's license.

Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

While making his rounds with a group of medical students, the doctor draws their attention to an x-ray.

"As is clearly visible on the x-ray, the patient limps because her right fibula and tibia are radically arched. Simone, what would you do in a case like this?"

"Well sir," says Simone, pondering the question, "I guess I'd limp too."

A distraught patient telephoned her doctor's office.

"Doctor, it is true that I am to take the medication you prescribed for the rest of my life?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid so," replied the doctor.

The woman remained silent for a few moments and then continued, "I'm wondering then, just how serious is my condition? This prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'!"

A row of bottles on my shelf
Caused me to analyze myself.
One yellow pill I have to pop
Goes to my heart so it won't stop.
A little white one that I take
Goes to my hands so they won't shake.
The blue ones that I use a lot
Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.
The purple pill goes to my brain
And tells me that I have no pain.
The capsules tell me not to wheeze
Or cough or choke or even sneeze.
The red ones, smallest of them all
Go to my blood so I won't fall.
The orange ones, very big and bright
Prevent my leg cramps in the night.
Such an array of brilliant pills
Helping to cure all kinds of ills.
But what I'd really like to know...........
Is what tells each one where to go!

Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old

to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60.

Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing..

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise' I wash my mouth out with chocolate..
I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say,

‘Well, she looks good doesn't she.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,... just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information

in our heads.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

AND

Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour

and by the time I leave, I look just fine.

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF WHENEVER WE MESSED UP OUR LIFE WE COULD SIMPLY PRESS "CTRL ALT DELET" AND START ALL OVER? AMEN, AMEN!!

HOW COME WE CHOOSE FROM JUST TWO PEOPLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND OVER FIFTY FOR MISS AMERICA?

With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit.

'May I see the new baby?' I asked

'Not yet,' She said 'I'll make coffee and we can visit for a while first.'

Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, 'May I see the new baby now?'

'No, not yet,' She said.

After another few minutes had elapsed,

I asked again, 'May I see the baby now?'

'No, not yet,' replied my friend.

Growing very impatient, I asked, 'Well, when can I see the baby?'

'WHEN HE CRIES!' she told me.

'WHEN HE CRIES?' I demanded. 'Why do I have to wait until he CRIES?'

'BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, O.K.?!!

My wife and I take turns at oral sex... First she talks about it, then I talk about it, then she talks about it again, then I... I was really ticked off the other night when I lost out on winning the pub Trivia quiz by one point. The question was, "Where do women mostly have curly hair?" Apparently it's Africa.
