So I asked the first one , "what is three times three? " his reply was "274", then I asked the second one" what is three times three?" his reply was "tuesday" so I finally asked the third one,"what is three times three?" so she replies "9"... I told her that I thought her memory was great! and asked her how she was able to do that .. she replied " oh it was easy ! I simply deducted 274 from tuesday!"....lol... is this what we have to look foward to someday?

I thought 274 deducted from Tuesday was Corned Beef. I'll have to work on my geography.

Not all of us end up that way! My Greatgrandmother made it into her 100's. She had hair thick and healthy down to her ankles ( and a beautiful white-- like snow). She wore mini-skirts and stilletos til the end....... and actually looked good! Her mental faculties? She taught English as a Second Language at a local high school for fun up until her death.
So how did she die? Only she and her 25 year old husband know for sure ;)

Just like any other part of you, your brain needs constant exercise to stay healthy.

Nursing home for the comedic elderly?I do not think that growing old should be our normal lot.Whatever makes us old has to be removed from our bodies.Then we'll be young!
