Laughter is the Best Medicine

Humor and laughter help us remain young at heart. Jokes and comedy provide a ray of lightness in our lives. As a way to help our readers remain smiling, we provide monthly installments of jokes related to seniors and aging.

Here is your installment of humor for December:

Laughter is the best medicine…

Two old gents and their nurse were sitting on the lawn at an assisted living community enjoying the afternoon when a little bird flew over and dropped a load on the bald head of one of the men. The nurse got all flustered and said, “Don’t you go anywhere, I’ll run in and get some toilet paper,” and off ran. The two men looked at each other and one of them said, “Are we crazy or is she crazy? By the time she gets back with the toilet paper, that bird will be a half a mile away.”

Laughter is the best medicine…

At the urging of his doctor, an elderly man moved to the deepest countryside. After settling in, he met a neighbor who was also an older man. “Say, is this really a healthy place?” he asked.

“It sure is,” the man replied. “When I first arrived here I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t have the strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed.”

“That’s wonderful!” said the newcomer. “How long have you been here?”

“I was born here.”

Laughter is the best medicine…

I’m a senior citizen, which means I’m:

  • The life of the party... even when it lasts 'till 8pm.
  • Very good at opening childproof caps — with a hammer.
  • Usually interested in going home before I get to where I'm going.
  • The first one to find the bathroom wherever I go.
  • Awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
  • Smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying.
  • Aware that other people's grandchildren are not as bright as mine.
  • So very cared for: long-term care, eye care, private care, dental care.

 

Laughter is the best medicine…

The census taker knocked on old Miss Barker’s door. She answered all his questions except one. She refused to tell him her age. “But everyone tells their age to the census taker,” he said.

“Did Miss Maisy Hill and Miss Daisy Hill tell you their ages?” she asked.

“Certainly,” he replied.

“Well, I’m the same age as they are,” she snapped.

“As old as the Hills,” he wrote on his form.
