Fun and Faith For Seniors 1
FUN AND FAITH THROUGHOUT THE NEW YEAR Blessed are they who know that today My ears must strain to hear what they say.
Senior citizens need humor to bring inner smiles and positive feelings. It is said that humor is good for the heart and lowers blood pressure. At other times it is impossible to smile in the stressful experiences they must face. They need faith when they are facing serious illness or the loss of friends who are going one by one. Words of comfort are very beneficial. Over the years I have collected E: mails from friends. I am passing them on to you beginning with two jokes from Senior Citizen experiences.A Senior Citizen was concerned about her husband’s hearing. It seemed that every time she would call him, he wouldn’t respond. The lady went to the doctor to ask his advice. The doctor said to her: “When you go home, tell your husband to stand at the end of the hallway, and you should stand at the other end. Ask him what he wants for dinner. Continue to move him closer towards you until he responds to your question so you know exactly how far away he is from you when he finally hears you." She thought this was a great idea. When she got home, she placed her husband at the end of the hallway and yelled, “Herbert, what do you want for dinner?” There was no response. She moved 10 feet closer. Again she yelled, “Herbert, what do you want for dinner?” No response. She moved another 15 feet closer to where she was now practically face to face with her husband She yelled even louder this time, “HERBERT, what do you want for dinner?” Herbert yells back at her, “For the THIRD time, I want chicken!!” She had discovered exactly who was hard of hearing.A Senior Citizen wife was listening to the news at noon. There was a report that some one was driving down the wrong side of the road on divided highway 27. Knowing her husband was in that direction she hurried to her Cell Phone to call him. “Honey," she said. “ I heard on the news that someone was driving down the highway on the wrong side of the road.” His quick reply: “Not just one. There are hundreds.”
