Funny Fridays: Because It Is Better to Laugh than to Cry!

One early evening, a police car pulled up in front of Grandma Marge’s house, and Grandpa Stanley gets out. The polite policeman explained that this elderly gentleman said that he was lost in the neighborhood park and couldn’t find his way home.

“Oh Stanley,” said Grandma Marge. “You’ve been going to that park for over thirty years! How could you get lost?”

Leaning close to his wife, so that the policeman couldn’t hear, Grandpa Stanley whispered, “I wasn’t lost. I was just too tired to walk home.”

*******************

One evening, a family brought their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and left her, hoping that she would be well-cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.

She seemed okay, but afer a while she slowly started to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seemed okay, but after a whle she started to tilt to the other side. The nurses rushed back, and once more moved her back upright. This went on all morning.

Later the family arrived to see how the woman was adjusting to her new home. “So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you alright?” they inquired.

“It’s pretty nice here,” she replied. “Except they won’t let you fart.” :-)

To everyone in my TLeC community, have a great weekend!

    Hi Davina & Barbara,

    I’m happy you both endorsed the second joke. I must admit, I was afraid some people would find it offensive! Happy to bring a smile to your faces.

    I have got to send that second one out to certain folks I know who tend to do a little leaning themselves!

    Dear Sunil and SpaceAge Sage,

    Thanks for letting me know that I can be a little less conservative than I thought I needed to be in the jokes I select for the TLeC gang! The second joke has won by a landslide! ;-) Have a happy day!
