Years ago, our nation's highways were graced by "Burma Shave" ads. There would be 4 or 5 ad signs, placed about a mile apart, consisting of prose or poetry that connected to prose or poetry on the next sign. For example:
Here's another one. Three senior men are sitting on a park bench. The first man is in his 60s, the second man is in his 70s, and the 3rd man is in his 80s. The following conversation takes place:
Senior #1 -- Every time I go to bed, I have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee.
Senior #2 -- That's not all that bad. I have to wake 3 times in the middle of the night to pee. And when I try to pee, only a trickle comes out.
Senior #3 -- You think that's bad? I go to bed at 11pm, sleep through the night, and promptly at 7am I pee like a racehorse!
Seniors #1 & #2 -- What's so bad about that???
Senior #3 -- (lowering his head & blushing) Well, I don't actually wake up until 8am.
And, here's one more. A senior couple is sitting in their rocking chairs on their front porch, rocking back and forth. All of a sudden, the wife stops rocking, gets a scowl on her face, and picks up her cane. Then WHAM! - she brings the cane down hard on her husband's lap.
"What was that for?" asked her shocked husband.
"That's for 50 years of bad sex!" the wife replied. Then, she puts her cane down and they both start rocking in their chairs again. But after a few minutes, the husband stops rocking, gets a scowl on his face, and picks up his cane. Then WHAM! - he brings the cane down hard on his wife's lap.
"What was that for?" asked the shocked wife.
The husband replied, "That's for knowing the difference."
One more before I go to bed. A woman in her late 80s goes to see her doctor for a routine annual exam and a few simple lab tests. After the tests come back, the doctor goes back to the woman and says, "Your tests came back good. For a woman in her 80s, you're in exceptionally good health. But, before I let you go, let me know if you have any health concerns you'd like to discuss."
The woman blushes and says, "Not really ... not for me, anyway. But my son complains that I fart too much. It's true that I do fart a lot. But, most of them are silent and none of them smell bad."
"Really?" the doctor said in surprise.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I've farted three times since I came into this office ... and they were all silent and none of them smelled bad."
The doctor nodded and reached into his medicine chest for some sample medication, and replied, "Well, just to keep your son happy, take these pills tonight before you go to bed."
She thanks the doctor and leaves. But the next morning, she's right back at the doctors office. And when the doctor finally sees her, she says "What did you do to me??? This morning, I started farting like I usually do. But the farts were loud and they all smelled terrible!!!"
The doctor smiled and replied, "Great! Now that we've fixed your hearing and sinus issues, let's see what we can do about your gas problem."
