Senior Humor, Laughter

 

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 and aging.

 

Here is your installment of humor for September:

 

An older couple has invited another older couple over for dinner. While the women are in the kitchen, the men are talking. One man says he and his wife are always looking for good restaurants. The other man replies that he and his wife just ate in a good restaurant last week. "What was the name of it?" asks the man. "Oh, gosh, let's see...um... what's the name of that flower that's red...and has thorns?" "A rose?" the man replies. "Yes that's it! Hey, Rose! What's the name of that restaurant we ate at last week?”

 

Laughter is the best medicine…

 

Two women friends meet up for coffee one morning. One says: “Be honest: Do you think my skin is starting to show its age?” “I can’t tell,” says the other. “There are too many wrinkles.”

 

Laughter is the best medicine…

 

An elderly woman was telling her friend that she had recently joined an aerobics class for seniors. “How’d it go?” asked the friend. “Well, I bent, I twisted, I turned, I jumped up and down, and I perspired for half an hour,” she explained. “But by the time I’d finally got my leotard on, the class had ended.”

 

Laughter is the best medicine…

 

A man in his eighties went to his doctor for his annual health check-up. He told the doctor: “I’m getting really forgetful. I forget where I live. I forget where I’ve parked my car. I go into shops and can’t remember what it was that I want. And when I do get to the checkout, I find I’ve forgotten my wallet. It’s getting pretty bad doc, what can I do?” The doctor thought for a moment then said: “Pay me in advance.”

 

Check back next month for more. In the meantime, remember laughter is the best medicine.

 

So keep on laughing.
