Some Geriatric Humor

This is just a fun post, to which I have nothing original to add.  I received it as an e-mail from some dear friends, and was delighted by the humorous but insightful manner it approached the subject of getting old.  Enjoy.

The Importance of Walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
To spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
Home at $4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking
Five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
And we have no idea where the hell he is.

I like long walks,
Especially when they are taken
By people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking
Is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning,
Before my brain figures out what I'm doing...

The Importance of Exercising

I joined a health club last year,
Spent about 250 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there!

Every time I hear the dirty word “exercise,”

I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs,

But fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day

Is so when you die, they'll say,

'Well, he looks good doesn't he?'

I know I got a lot of exercise
The last few years,......
Just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older,
Because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Every time I start thinking too much
About how I look,
I just find a pub with a Happy Hour
And by the time I leave,
I look just fine.
