Doing something useful...........

[W2DR]

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I
didn't do something useful with my time.

"Like, me sitting around the pool and drinking wine is
not a good thing?" I asked.
My "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite
topic of conversation.

She was "only thinking of me", she said and suggested
that I go down to the Senior Center and join something.
I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to
play a prank on her.
I emailed her and told her that I had joined a
Parachute Club.

She replied, "Mother, are you nuts? You are 78 years
old and now you're going to start jumping out of
airplanes?"

I told her that I even got a Membership Card and
emailed a copy to her.

She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief,
Mom, where are your glasses?! This is a Membership to a

PROSTITUTE  CLUB, NOT A PARACHUTE CLUB."

I calmly replied, "Oh my, I think I'm in real trouble

then, because I signed up for FIVE JUMPS A WEEK!!"

The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone
and said that my daughter had fainted.

Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but
sometimes it can be real fun.

Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can
outsmart an "old Geezer"

Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like
being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much
to tick us off.
