Laughter is the Best Medicine
Laughter is the Best Medicine
Laughter helps us remain young at heart. Jokes and comedy provide a ray of levity and lightness in our lives. As a way to help our readers remain smiling, each month we thought we’d share a few simple jokes related to seniors, adulthood, and aging.
Here is your installment of humor for June:
A couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating their 60th birthdays, which fell on the same day. During the celebration, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for all 25 years, she would give them one wish each. The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her hand, and Boom! she had tickets in her hand. Next, it was the husband’s turn. He paused for a moment then said shyly, “Well, I’d like to have a woman 30 years younger than me.” The fairy picked up her wand, and Boom! he was ninety.

An elderly man goes into confession and says to the priest,
“Father, I’m 80 years old, married, have four kids and 11 grandchildren, and last night I had an affair.
I was with two 21 year old girls. Both of them. Twice.”
The priest said: “Well, my son, when was the last time you were in confession?”
“Never Father, I’m Jewish.”
“So then, why are you telling me?”
“Are you kidding? I'm telling everybody!”

While waiting for a traffic light to change on a busy street corner, I fell into conversation with a woman.
Like me she was a senior. As one word led to another she said, “If you live alone and don’t use your brain it dries up.
It’s very important to spend time with people, to keep busy. That’s why, although I am over 80, I still work.”
I complimented her and asked what she did for a living. By this time our brief meeting ended with her unexpected answer:
“I take care of an old lady.”

A man who had just turned 60 was doing some spring planting with the help of his 91 year-old father.
When the older man began to put up beanpoles in straight lines, the son suggested that stacking them teepee-style was better.
A disagreement arose.
“Dad,” the man finally said, sighing, “this is my garden, and I want to use the teepees.”
The father threw down his hoe and stomped off towards the house.
“You kids!” he snorted over his shoulder. “You turn sixty and think you know everything!”
