Are age-related jokes past it?
Sorry about the weak attempt at a pun in the title, but a report in today's newspaper reckons that jokes related to older people are, well, just a joke and that we should refrain from repeating them.
Well, I belong to the older fraternity and I reckon that when the day comes that we can't laugh at ourselves, we might just as well wrap it all in.
Laughter is the best medicine and as they say, the old ones are the best ones.
Here's a few examples:
Laugh,and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you cry alone.
- Three elderly men, who are all a little deaf, are standing by a bowling green. One remarked to the other: 'Windy, isn't it?' 'No,' the second man replied, 'it's Thursday.' The third man nodded in agreement: 'So am I. Let's have a cup of tea.'
- A woman went to her doctor and said: 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor replied: 'It's old age.' The woman said: 'I want a second opinion.' 'OK,' replied the doctor. 'You're ugly as well.'
- My uncle was 83 and wanted to marry a girl of 19. The doctor said: 'This could be fatal.' He said: 'If she dies, she dies.'
