I used to think it was funny how old people hated very hot and very cold weather.
Well, now I am an old people.
I used to think it was funny how old people talked to themselves while working.
Well, now I am an old people.
I used to think it was funny how old people got the walking farts. Well, now I am
an old people.
I used to think jokes about senior citizens were funny. Well, now I am a senior
joke.
So enough about me. A tale for and about we older folks:
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just
gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be
marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation.
"He's a funeral director," she answered.
"Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling
him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.
She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a
short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she
had first married a banker when she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when
in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral
director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four
men with such diverse careers.
She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to
get ready, and four to go."
