It's usually a good thing that we're all a little bit different. Otherwise, the world would get a bit tiresome, don't you think. I just always try not to take myself too seriously, and try to leave everyone with a Smile, wherever I may be along life's journey.

Here's a couple of Cute stories that I found on one of my favorite Senior's sites...

Old Firefighters

One dark night outside a small town, a fire started inside the local chemical plant. Before long it exploded into flames and an alarm went out to fire departments from miles around. After fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical company owner approached the fire chief and said, “All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the centre of the plant. They must be saved! I will give $10,000 to the engine company that brings them out safely!”

As soon as the chief heard this, he ordered the firemen to strengthen their attack on the blaze. After two more hours of attacking the fire, owner of the company, desperate that something be done, offered $25,000 to the engine company that could bring out the company’s secret files.

From the distance a long siren was heard and another fire truck came into sight. It was a local volunteer fire company, composed entirely of men over 65.

To everyone’s amazement the little fire engine raced through the chemical plant gates and drove straight into the middle of the inferno.

In the distance the other firemen watched as the old timers hopped off of their rig and began to fight the fire with an effort that they had never seen before.

After an hour of intense fighting the volunteer company had extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas. Joyous, the chemical company owner announced that he would double the reward to $50,000 and walked over to personally thank each of the volunteers.

After thanking each of the old men individually, the owner asked the group what they intended to do with the reward money.

The fire truck driver looked him right in the eye and said, “The first thing we’re going to do is fix the dang brakes on that fire truck!”

Ramblings of a Retired Mind

• I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.

• You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant ~ before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

• I was thinking about old age and decided that it is when you still have something on the ball. But, you are just too tired to bounce it.

• I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age and calling it "Pumping Rust".

• I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

• I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"

• Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in case of an emergency.' I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"

• Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do -- write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

• I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.

Have A Happy Week My Friend,

Phil

Phil, thank you for the laughs. I am glad that you try to keep it clean on this one. I think jokes can be funny without being gross and when they go too far along those lines, they just aren't funny anymore to me. However, that is just my opinion but at least we have choices of what we decide to read and what we decide to stay away from.

So far I am still checking by here.

While they are not turkeys...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Old is just Old -

Old is not Dumb!

A strong young man at a construction site was
bragging that he could out-do anyone in a feat

of strength. He made a special case of making

fun of one of the older workmen.

After several minutes, the older worker had

enough. 'Why don't you put your money where

your mouth is,' he said.. 'I'll bet a week's wages

that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over

to that building that you won't be able to wheel

back.'

'You're on, old man,' the braggart replied.

'Let's see you do it.'

The old man reached out and grabbed the

wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to

the young man, he said, 'All right, Dumb A*ss, get in.'

Never mess with old people!

And this one is hilarious.

Shalom,

Peter
