There was an old man whose family could no longer afford to take care of him. So the family decided that a nusring for the aged would be appropriate.

Of course the old man rejected the idea, but no sooner he was convinced that it was the right thing to do. On his first day at the home, he spent most of his time laying in bed reflecting on life, feeling lonely. A while later, an orderly stopped by to seee how the old man’s first day was going.

“How you doing today?”, she said to the old man, “First day I see”. The Old man replied with a nod.

In no time the two began talking up a storm. As the conversation began to drag on, the orderly was eyeing the room filled with fresh flowers, cards and balloons from friends and relatives. She noticed a bowl full of peanuts sitting on top of the table next to the bed, and help herself to a handful.

As the two continued to converse with each other, the orderly kept eating more helpings of the peanuts. She look at her watch and noticed that nearly 2 hours had passed and said, “My goodness, the time has gone by quickly. I have to tend to other people here too.” “That’s okay.”, said the old man, “I feel so much better being able to talk to someone.” Looking into the bowl the orderly said, “I feel awful! I ate almost all of your peanuts!” The old man responded, “That’s okay. Ever since I got these false teeth, all I could do was suck the chocolate off of them anyhow.”

A story I’ll tell of a burglar bold

Who started to rob a house;

He opened the window, and then crept in

As quiet as a mouse.

He looked around for a place to hide,

‘Till the folks were all asleep,

Then said he, “With their money

I’ll take a quiet sneak.”

So under the bed the burglar crept;

He crept up close to the wall;

He didn’t know it was an old maid’s room

Or he wouldn’t have had the gall.

He thought of the money that he would steal,

As under the bed he lay;

But at nine o’clock he saw a sight

That made his hair turn gray.

At nine o’clock the old maid came in;

“I am so tired,” she said;

She thought that all was well that night

So she didn’t look under the bed.

She took out her teeth and her big glass eye,

And the hair from off her head;

The burglar, he had forty fits

As he watched from under the bed.

From under the bed the burglar crept,

He was a total wreck;

The old maid wasn’t asleep at all

And she grabbed him by the neck.

She didn’t holler, or shout or call,

She was as cool as a clam;

She only said, “The Saints be praised,

At last I’ve got a man!”

From under the pillow a gun she drew,

And to the burglar she said,

“Young man, if you don’t marry me,

I’ll blow off the top of your head!”

She held him firmly by the neck,

He hadn’t a chance to scoot;

He looked at the teeth and the big glass eye,

And said, “Madam, for Pete’s sake, shoot!”

For the first time in many years, a an old man traveled from his rural town to the city to attend a movie. After buying his ticket, he stopped at the concession stand to purchase some popcorn.

Handing the attendant $1.50, he couldn’t help but comment, “The last time I came to the movies, popcorn was only 15 cents.”

“Well, sir,” the attendant replied with a grin, “You’re really going to enjoy yourself. We have sound now..”
