Seems 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."
To which the gentleman said, "Oh, I haven't told my family
yet. I
just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've
changed my will
three times!"

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down
to lunch at McDonald's. He noticed that they had ordered one meal,
and
an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully
divided the
hamburger in half, then counted out the fries, one for him,
one for
her, until each had half of them. Then he poured half of
the soft drink
into the extra cup and set that in front of his wife.
The old man then
began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her
hands folded in her
lap.
The young man decided to ask if
they would allow him to purchase
another meal for them so that they
didn't have to split theirs.
The old gentleman said, "Oh no.
We've been married 50 years, and
everything has always been and will
always be shared, 50/50."
The young man then asked the wife if
she was going to eat, and she
replied, "It's his turn with the
teeth."

I've sure gotten old. I've had two By-pass
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, I
still have my Florida driver's license!
