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 February:

Laughter is the Best Medicine…

A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sat down, he noticed the seat next to him was empty. He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there.

“No,” the man replied, “The seat is empty.”

“This is incredible,” said the first man, “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?”

The second man replied, “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This will be the first Super Bowl we haven’t been together since we got married in 1967.”

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else — a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?”

The man shook his head. “No, they’re all at the funeral.”

Laughter is the Best Medicine…

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. 

As the bartender gives her the drink she says, “I’m on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it’s today.” 

The bartender says, “Well, since it’s your birthday, I’ll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.”

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, “I would like to buy you a drink, too.” 

The old woman says, “Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.” 

“Coming up,” says the bartender. 

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, “I would like to buy you one, too.” 

The old woman says, “Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.”

“Coming right up,” the bartender says. 

As he gives her the drink, he says, “Ma'am, I’m dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?” 

The old woman replies, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you’ve learned how to hold your liquor.

Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.”

Laughter is the Best Medicine…

A young girl’s class assignment was to interview an “old person” about his life, so she asked her grandfather, “What was the biggest historical event that happened during your childhood?”

“I’d have to say the moonwalk,” he replied.

She looked disappointed. “That dance was so important to you?”
