PLEASE TELL ME THIS WON’T HAPPEN TO US

 An  elderly Floridian called 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.'

TELL ME THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO US !!

         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 and
 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.'

         TELL ME THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO US !!!!

         '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.'

         TELL ME THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO US !!!!

         Now this one is just too Precious...!

        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?'

         TELL ME THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO US !!!!

         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!'

         TELL ME THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO US !!!!

         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, 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, 'Oh, crap, am I driving ?'

This is dedicated to all of us who are  seniors, to all of you who know  seniors, and to all of you who will become  seniors. It pays to be able to laugh about it when you are!

"WHERE is my SUNDAY  paper?!" The irate customer calling the  newspaper office, loudly demanded to  know where her Sunday edition was .

"Madam", said the  newspaper employee, "today is Saturday.  The Sunday paper is not delivered until  tomorrow, on  SUNDAY
".

There was quite a  long pause on the other end of the phone,  followed by a ray of recognition as she was  heard to mutter,  "Well, shit, so that's why no one was at church today."
