A recently widowed Jewish lady, was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach, Florida. She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up, placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a book.
Smiling, she attempted to strike up a conversation with him. "Hello, sir, how are you?"
"Fine, thank you," he responded, and turned back to his book.
"I love the beach. Do you come here often?" she asked.
"First time since my wife passed away last year," he replied, and again turned back to his book.
"Do you live around here?" she asked.
"Yes, I live over in Suntree," he answered, and then resumed reading.
Trying to find a topic of common interest, Sarah persisted. "Do you like pussycats?"
With that, the man threw his book down, jumped off his blanket onto hers, tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her life!
As the cloud of sand began to settle, Sarah gasped and asked the man, "How did you know that was what I wanted?"
The man replied, "How did you know my name was Katz?"
There's no doubt about it, I'm getting old.
The other day I was walking into the market and there was this lovely young lady standing there. I mean she was HOT!
And I started wondering...."I wonder what her Mom looks like?"
The problem women have with men is not that we are not listening. Women are not usually very clear.
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like tohave for her birthday.
'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.
He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six again?'
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
I meant my dress size, you f---ing retard!!!!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.
...and I don't know when I switched to that thinking???
About 35 the below started becoming reality.
At some point in life you realize that you are old enough to be the younger females father you go uggghh!!!
Other words actually but I'll keep it clean.
Just imagine one of them really calling you Daddy it returns you to reality and brings you to the fact your just an old phart!
Getting older is great and sucks at the same time!
Life is the best joke of all!!!

Last December I was working out at the Cleveland State gym when this charming young gal comes up and starts interviewing me for the gym newsletter. (Let me say right up front that I am not one of those delusional 51-year-old guys who thinks that every young woman is somehow fascinated by mature older men.)
But after she kept complimenting me on my workout and acting all impressed and whatnot I must admit that my ego started echoing her every word and I started to get impressed with myself just a little more than is healthy.
Trying to make conversation, I asked her what had made her decide to interview an old guy like me. Her answer was that I reminded her of her dad...
Oh, well - at least I got my picture in the paper:
