Hi Karen,
Glad you liked it. I'm afraid I'm at that age where I can truly relate to this as well. However, we must always remember. as the Bible says...
"A cheerful heart is good medicine..." Proverbs 17:22
That's why we always need to smile, on the outside as well as the inside.
Here's a few that we might call The Sunday Funnies...
Blonde in Heaven
A dumb blonde died and went to heaven. When she got to the
Pearly Gates, she met Saint Peter who said, "Before you get
to come into heaven, you have to pass a test."
"OH, NO!" exclaimed the blonde.
But Saint Peter said not to worry, because he would make it
an easy test. "Who was God's son?" asked Saint Peter.
The dumb blonde thought for a few minutes and replied,
"Andy."
"Andy? That's interesting. What made you say that?" inquired
Saint Peter.
Then the blonde started to sing, "Andy walks with me. Andy
talks with me. Andy tells me..."

And Also with You
In our Anglican church, each service begins with a greeting.
The officiating clergyman says, "The Lord be with you." The
congregation used to respond by saying, "And with thy
spirit."
But, with the modernizing of the liturgy, the minister now
says, "The Lord be with you," and everyone responds with,
"And also with you."
One Sunday a visiting bishop went to a church where the
sound system was known to be old and unreliable. As he
approached the microphone, he tapped it several times and
finally said, "There's something wrong with this!"
Without hesitation, the whole congregation answered
faithfully, "And also with you."

100 Camels
As U.S. tourists in Israel, Morris and his wife Ruth were
sitting outside a Bethlehem souvenir shop, waiting for
fellow tourists.
An Arab salesman approached them carrying belts. After an
impassioned sales talk yielded no results, he asked where
they were from.
"America," Morris replied.
Looking at Ruth's dark hair and olive skin, the Arab
responded, "She's not from the States."
"Yes I am," said the wife.
He looked at her and asked, "Is he your husband?"
"Yes," she replied.
Turning to the husband, the Arab said, "I'll give you 100
camels for her."
Morris looked stunned, and there was a long silence. Finally
he replied, "She's not for sale."
After the salesman left, the somewhat indignant wife asked,
"Morris, what took you so long to answer?
Morris replied, "I was trying to figure out how to get 100
camels back home."

Arthritis
A man who reeked of alcohol flopped on a subway seat next to
a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered
with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of rum was
sticking out of his ripped jacket pocket. He opened his
newspaper and started reading. After a few minutes, the
disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked, "Say, Father,
do you know what causes arthritis?"
The priest, disgusted by the man's appearance and behavior,
snapped, "It's caused by loose living; being with cheap,
wicked women; drinking too much alcohol; and having a
contempt for your fellow man!"
"Well, I'll be," the man muttered and returned to his
newspaper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man
and apologized. "I'm sorry to have come on so strong - I
didn't mean it. How long have you been suffering from
arthritis?"
"I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the
Pope does."
