Forgetfulness

It's amazing how people (ladies in particular) have never-ending topics to talk about anytime. Our topic at lunch today was forgetfulness and we shared some hilarious experiences. Oops!! Then as if by some unknown force, some jokes along the same line came in the mail. How weird! Disclaimer: These are just jokes so any similarity to any experience(s) or person(s) is purely co-incidental.



Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said,

"Mabel, do you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?"

Mabel answered, "I have a suppository in my ear?"

She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, "Ethel, I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where to find my hearing aid."


When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea.

No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly,

"You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea."

Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big shit he always was."



A funeral service is being held for a woman who had recently passed away.

At the end of the service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket.

They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive!

She lives for ten more years, and then dies.

Once again, a funeral is held, and at the end of it, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket.

As they carry the casket towards the door, the husband cries out,

"Watch that wall!"


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?"


THE SENILITY PRAYER

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.


Now, I think you're supposed to send this to 5 or 6, maybe 10.
Oh well, send it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are.

Then something is supposed to happen . . . I think, so anyway!

  2. Those were really funny...I think.

    I took a "mental age" test last night, and I was really, really happy when it said that my mind is ten years younger than I am.

    Does that mean I'm in trouble?

    Oh, why not:

    You may at last be passing o'er the hill
    Knowing that you're concerned about your age.
    Until the end, just do whate'er you will;
    Enjoy the things here on the current page!
    "Old" is, you know, a state of mind
    Not needed when there's more to find!

  4. LB, glad you enjoyed them. I needed them too. LOL!

    MM, I took that test too sometime back and had the same result that you had. If you think you are in trouble, me too then. I think it's good to take that test again periodically (after a lapse of a few years) to see how we are doing.

    What wisdom you have there
    How pleasant of you to share
    Age is indeed in the mind
    Tis wrinkles we still do find
    Either them or loss of hair.
