"I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford.
Then I want to move in with them."
An elderly woman in our church congregation had an older-model car that was in excellent condition. As she was driving to town one afternoon, her car was struck by another auto. The insurance company told her that, after considering the car's age, they would give her a settlement on the damage. When the cheque arrived, she was unhappy with the low amount and went to see her insurance agent.
Pulling open his desk drawer, he said, "I have a little blue book in here that says that's all your car is worth."
"Well," she replied, "I have a little black book at home that says, 'Thou shalt not steal.'"
She got a higher settlement.
When you're over 60...
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you will likely be released first.
3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.
4. People call at 9 pm and ask, Did I wake you????
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 4 pm.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
As I get older, I notice that my wife and my hamstrings have a lot in common.
They're both inflexible.
