Elderly One
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a
number of years.
He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him
fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to
hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor
and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family
must be really pleased that you can hear again."
The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet.
I just sit around and listen to the conversations.
I've changed my will three times!"

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting
on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and
says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches
and pains.
I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"
Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
"Really!? Like a newborn baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and
after eating, the wives left the table and went to the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said,
"Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really
great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is
the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know... the one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned
towards the kitchen and yelled,
"Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last
night?"

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being
discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I
found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on
the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't
need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me
wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
"I don't know," he said.
"She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her
hospital gown."

A couple in their nineties is both having problems
remembering things.
During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're
physically okay, but they might want to start writing things
down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up
from his chair.
"Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure ."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can
remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you
should write it down, so's not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that.You want a bowl of ice
cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that,
write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can
remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped
cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes,
the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a
plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment. "Where's my toast?"
