Senior Dress Code

Many of us "Old Folks" (those over 60, WAY over 60, or hovering near 60) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

  • A nose ring and bifocals
  • Spiked hair and bald spots
  • A pierced tongue and dentures
  • Miniskirts and support hose
  • Ankle! Bracelets and corn pads
  • Speedo's and cellulite
  • A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
  • Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
  • Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge
  • Bikinis and liver spots
  • Short shorts and varicose veins
  •  Inline skates and a walker

And last, but not least . . My personal favorite:

  • Thongs and Depends

The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the mountains for some sightseeing.

He was cruising along the campground in the Popemobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.

A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales"/"Bush Lied" T-shirt and a tree hugger hat, was screaming while struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot grizzly.

As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp.

Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over.

"I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists, but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies "Who was that guy?"

"It was the Pope.", another replied, "He's in direct contact with God and has access to all God's wisdom."

"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all God's wisdom but he sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up, or do we need to go back to town and snatch another one?"

Letter to My Animals

Dear Dogs and Cats,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note that placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not mean it becomes your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm and disrespect.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or stick your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. I have been using the bathroom for years--canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Always Complain About Our Pets

  1. They live here. You don't.
  2. If you don't want hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture )
  3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
  4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and does not speak clearly.

Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they: eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Do you may remember the old Catskill comics of Vaudeville days ...

..., viz., Shecky Green, Red Buttons, Dodie Fields, Milton Berle, Henny Youngman, Myron Cohen and others? Don't you miss their humor? Not one single swear word in their comedy. Well here are some of their best stories:

  • My wife and I went to hotel where we got a waterbed. My wife called it the Dead Sea. She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
  • The doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months.
  • The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back." Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"
  • Doctor: "You'll live to be 60!" Patient: "I AM 60!! " Doctor: "See! What did I tell you?"
  • A doctor has a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand?" The doctor says, "That's what puzzles me!"
  • Doctor says to a man, "You're pregnant!" The man says, "How does a man get pregnant! ?" The doctor says, "The usual way. A little wine, a little dinner, you know?"
  • Patient: "I have a ringing in my ears." Doctor: "Don't answer!"
  • A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says, "Okay, let's get started."

As an animal welfare inspector was about to enter a shop to buy lunch ...

... he noticed a parked car with two penguins sitting on the back seat. They looked to be in good health, but this was totally illegal, so when he went into the shop he asked who owned the car outside.

"I do," said a young man.

"Listen, son," Said the inspector, "You've got two penguins in the back of your car. That's right, isn't it?"

"Well, yeah, I found them wandering along the foreshore an hour ago. What's wrong with that?"

"Well, it's illegal, and dangerous for them. I'm an inspector, and I could book you on the spot, but as you didn't know about them I'll give you a chance if you promise to take them to the zoo immediately. They know how to look after them. OK?"

"Sure, I'll do it now. Didn't know they were protected, though."

He drove off, but the following day the inspector saw the same car in the same spot. Being a bit suspicious he went to investigate. Sure enough the penguins were still in the back, but this time they were wearing sunglasses. Storming into the shop he grabbed the young man by the arm and said "OK, you young idiot, you're under arrest. I told you to take them to the zoo yesterday, but they're still in the back of your car. You're booked."

"Look, mister," he replied, "they had such a good time at the zoo I reckoned I'd take them to the beach today. What's wrong with that?"
