During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

I guess I'm ready for one of the beds. Shhh! Don't tell my kids.
ReplyDeleteI am going to nick this and post it (of course with due credit) at one of the forums I moderate.
ReplyDeleteA good chuckle to start the week. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDon, you think you are ready for a bed there! I've read that several times before and I still didn't remember the punchline.
ReplyDeleteOH DEAR! LOL that is good, real good!
