I don't need no stinking glasses!!!!

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn’t do 

something useful with my time.  “Like, me sitting around the 

pool and drinking wine is not a good thing?”  I asked.  

My “doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of 

conversation.  She was “only thinking of me”, she said and 

suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and join something. 

I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a 

prank on her.  I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined 

a Parachute Club. She replied,  "Mother, are you nuts?  

You are 78 years old and now you’re going to start jumping 

out of airplanes?” I told her that I even got a Membership Card 

and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned me 

and yelled, "Good grief, Mom, where are your glasses?!  

This is a Membership to a

Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.”  

I calmly replied, “Oh my, I think I'm in real trouble then, because 

I signed up for five jumps a week!!” The line went quiet and 

her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.  

Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes

it can be real fun. Just because you’re “Young” doesn't mean 

that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"  

Remember: Don't make old people mad.  

We don’t like being old in the first place, 

so it doesn't take much to tick us off!
