A Bit Of Fun.

[Caran]

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.
“Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing?” I asked.
Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.
She was "only thinking of me", she said and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the guys.
I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her.
I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 78 years old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.
She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Mom, where are your glasses?!
This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
"Oh man, I'm in trouble again,” I said, “I really don't know what to do. I signed up for five jumps a week!!"
The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.
Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.

Caran ...what would we do without you ?

[Caran]

I aim to please!

[mikey4444]

Caran...you should be joining in the discussions over on NEWS...you would add a much-needed comedic element !

[Caran]

No mikey that site is too heavy for me.

[vulcan42]

You could join both clubs but then life would be full of ups and downs.

[cupid04]

Caran, you make me lol! Do I have your permission to try it out on my daughter?

[Caran]

You certainly do Cupid.

Caran that's great, on behalf of us mouldy oldies keep up the good work !

[Old_Geezer]

I get the sneaking suspicion this ought to have been in "jokes".
But if not, what is the going rate ?
