I know the answer, but I was hoping if you don't know you won't look it up, and give the answer away. If you don't know, guess!

I love seniors, and on occasion I help out some of the older people I know from time to time. This is one of two questions I have today regarding the elderly, and I would like some firsthand answers from those of you 65 and over, please.

Why do so many of the elderly stop bathing as frequently, or at all? I understand that there are those who have limited mobility cannot bathe themselves, but I have known many who, despite the usual aches and pains associated with aging, are able to bathe, but don't. I see this as a recurring theme with so many seniors, and I am wondering; Is it a matter of just not caring anymore, or is it a matter of being more trouble than the person thinks it is worth to hop in a shower for 5 minutes?

I would hope that even if I were 80 and in so-so health, that I would still want to take care of my personal hygeine. I would imagine that these same people, when they were at my age, felt the same way, so I don't understand.

Thanks for your answers!

A young couple, just married, were in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they undressed for bed, the husband, who was a big burly man, tossed his pants to his bride and said, "here put these on." She put them on, and the waist was twice the size of her body. "I can't wear your pants," she said. "That's right!!" said the husband, "and don't you forget it. I'm the man who wears the pants in this family!" With that she flipped him her panties and said, "Try these on." He tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps. He said, "Hell, I can't get into your panties!" She said, "That's right, and that's the way it's going to be until you change your attitude."

I'm a brilliant, properly raised half black girl, # 7 of my grad class. My dad ( black man) is a highly ranked retired member of the US Air Force and now an Inspector of Raytheon Co. doing airplane engineering. My question is why the hell everyone has stereotypes that black men produce babies and leave their baby mamas. My father is still with my mother. So what makes someone think that all black people are pathetic or on welfare, cause lots of people (especially white people), just throw stereotypes right and left at blacks. There are white, mexican and asians who desert their children, go through abuse and all that negative stuff that is assumed to go on in only black communities. more than 70% of school shootings are done by white people. more than 80% of suicides are done by white people. so why is everything thrown on blacks?! not to mention that black guys get the short end of the stick in the judicial system. why are people turning a blind eye at the 'other' races' flaws?

After her fifth child, Lucy decided that she should have some cosmetic surgery "down below" to restore herself to her former youthful glory.

Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned that, with five children now being the limit, she'd tidy things with a nip here and a tuck there.

Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three roses at the end of the bed.

Who are these from ?" she asked the nurse, "They're very nice but I'm a bit confused as to why I've received them."

"Well" said the nurse, "The first is from the surgeon - the operation went so well and you were such a model patient that he wanted to say thanks."

"Ahhh, thats really nice" said Lucy.

"The second is from your husband - he's delighted the operation was such a success that he can't wait to get you home. Apparently it'll be the first time he's touched the sides for years and he's very excited!"

"Brilliant!" said Lucy. "And the third?"

"Thats from Eric in the burns unit" said the nurse.
"He just wanted to say thanks for his new ears!"

OK in high school my friend told me he was born to run fast because his dad was able to run fast. He also said Japanese people are very fast runners because he is one. He is a good runner but he is not the best compared to non Japanese people.

In one race he fainted... Also he trains a lot too, yet he is unable to beat someone who didn't train for months... He got pissed when that guy beat him and that guy always does beat him. The fastest runners on our team are these White, Chinese and Indian guys. SO was he born to run fast?

A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a great forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to fly him over the fire.

The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna airplane was waiting. He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, "Let's go!" The tense man sitting in the pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, though flying erratically.

"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make several low-level passes." "Why?" asked the nervous pilot. "Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures."

The pilot replied, "You mean you're not the flight instructor?"

Have a guess and see if you can come up with the right answer, what she said only took about 14 or 16 words to explain what she wanted to say, and the reason why she wanted to leave. Please everyone have a shot at this answer, the answer is really very simple.
