A Few Senior Moments
An elderly Floridian calls 911 on her cell phone to
report that her car has been broken into. She is
hysterical as she explains her situation to the
dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering
wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she
cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is
on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radios in.
"Disregard." He says. "She got in the back-seat by
mistake."

FAMILY

Three sisters ages 92, 94 and 96 live in a house
together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath. She
puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other
sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?"

The 94 year old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up
and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses "Was I
going up the stairs or down?"

The 92 year old is 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, knock on
wood." She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of
you as soon as I see who's at the door."

"I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!"

Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing
golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other,
"Windy, isn't it?" "No," the second man replied, "it's
Thursday." And the third man chimed in, "So am I.
Let's have a beer."

SUPE R SEX

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a
nursing home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem
of her nightgown and say "Supe r sex." She walked up
to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at
him, she said, "Supe r sex." He sat silently for a
moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the
soup."

ROMANCE

An older couple were lying in bed one night. The
husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a
romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: "You used
to hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily he
reached across, held her hand for a second and tried
to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said:
"Then you used to kiss me. "Mildly irritated, he  
reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and
settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said:
"Then you used to bite my neck." Angrily, he threw
back the bed clothes and got out of bed. "Where are
you going?" she asked. "To get my teeth!"

DOWN AT THE RETIREMENT CENTER

80-year old Bessie bursts into the rec room at the
retirement home. She holds her clenched fist in the air
and announces, "Anyone who can guess what's in my
hand can have sex with me tonight!!" An elderly
gentleman in the rear shouts out, "An elephant?" Bessie
thinks a minute and says, "Close enough."

OLD FRIENDS

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades.
Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities
and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited
to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day,
they were playing cards when one looked at the other
and said, "Now don't get mad at me ... I know we've
been friends for a long time ...but I just can't think of
your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't
remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her
friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she
just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How
soon do you need to know?"

SENIOR DRIVING

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his
car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice
urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the
news that there's a car going the wrong way on
Interstate 77. Please be careful!" "Heck" said Herman,
"It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

DRIVING

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car -
both could barely see over the dashboard. As they
were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The
stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The
woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must
be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a
red light." After a few more minutes, they came to
another intersection and the light was red again. Again,
they went right through. The woman in the passenger
seat was almost sure that the light had been red but
was really concerned that she was losing it. She was
getting nervous . At the next intersection, sure
enough, the light was red and they went on through.
So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred,
did you know that we just ran through three red lights
in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned
to her and said, "Crap, am I driving?"
