Thursday Special ~ No one believes seniors
An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighbourhood after they retired. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they’d shared, where Andy had carved “I love you, Sally .”
On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armoured car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money-fifty thousand dollars! Andy said, “We’ve got to give it back.” Sally said, “Finders keepers.” She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.
The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighbourhood looking for the money, and knocked on their door. “Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armoured car yesterday?” Sally said, “No”. Andy said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic. Sally said, “Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.”
The agents turned to Andy and began to question him. One said: “Tell us the story from the beginning.” Andy said, “Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday ….”
The first police officer turned to his partner and said, “We’re outta here!”

I love these stories of elderly people. I am rapidly getting there and though there is no one to tell the cops that I am senile, there are many others who will oblige.

Presumably the first thing she bought with the money was a gag for her husband.

Aaaw! I think it could be said that Sally wears that pants in that marriage!

You don’t have to BE senile, just pretend to be. I like that idea….

Cardi - I agree with you there.
Ramana - At least when you go senile, you won’t be alone!
Nick -
Steph - Whether or not she wore the pants… she knew how to handle the money!
Gaelikaa - You discovered my secret….!

Funny… and scary, as I’m rapidly approaching senior status — we’re to the point that sometimes we get senior discounts without being asked our age, though we’re not there yet, most of the time. Must be my hair.
