flyingleaf Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 My scared grandson saw his granny's teeth in the glass one day and I calmed him by saying: Grama has teeth like stars they come out at nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekG Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Saw a brilliant cartoon recently (can't remember where). Grandad was in bed sleeping with his false teeth in the glass by his bed and this little girl was sneaking up to steal them with the intent to cash in big time with the tooth fairy.

Triplane Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The little old couple walked slowly into McDonalds that cold winter evening. They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating there that night. Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking. "Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!" The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of french fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the french fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. "That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them." As the man began to eat his french fries one young man stood and came over to the old couples table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything. Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy them something to eat. This time the lady explained that no, they were used to sharing everything together. As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food. After being politely refused again he finally asked a question of the little old lady. "Ma'am, why aren't you eating? You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?" She answered, "The teeth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I counted up the other day. I've now been retired for two years longer than I actually worked for the firm who's been paying my pension ever since! Can't be bad. Since then I've written and published on six novels, painted and photographed the pictures adorning the walls around our home and walked extensively all over Exmoor. I'm 85 and have all my teeth...well most of 'em anyway and was told by the optician this year that I can continue driving without wearing glass Unfortunately, my replacement hip is giving out and I can't get round the golf course any more. I came to the conclusion that it was too embarassing that my partners had to call the Pro' out on a rescue mission to the 15th. with his buggy because it was so painful and had become so exhausted I couldn't put one more step in front of another. Now I go to the golf club twice a week to meet some of my old partners, all in the same boat, to chin-wag and verbally abuse the rest of the guys in the group who are still playing! Fortunately, I live in a most beautiful part of the Counry overlooking the sea at the front and Exmoor at the back and spend my time eating, reading, flying and being royally looked after by my wife, still lovely and a smashing kisser! I must say that I still enjoy life as much as I ever did. I think part of that is being adaptable and open to new things when I can no longer do what I did previously. I'll tell you what. They'll have to carry me out kickin' and screaming. I won't go willingly, that's for sure! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
