Hold Onto Your Hat
An old lady was standing at the railing of
the cruise ship holding her hat on tight so
that it would not blow off in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said:
"Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be
forward, but did you know that your dress
is blowing up in this high wind?"
"Yes, I know," said the lady,
"I need both hands to hold onto this hat."

"But, madam, you must know that your
privates are exposed!" said the gentleman
in earnest.

The woman looked down, then back up at
the man and replied,


"Sir, anything you see down there is 85
years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!"
