I used to look forward to having a giggle with you all but some days the atmosphere seems a bit down.
So at the risk of yet another v mail coming my way I'm hoping to give you some thing to laugh at.
A man in the drs waiting room asks a lady why she is crying.
"I'm here for a blood test and the nurse will have to cut my finger" the lady sniffs.
The man starts to weep too.
"Why are you upset?" the lady asks.
The man looks at her pitifully and whispers:
"I'm here for a urine test!"
So my question is, have I brightened this page up enough to start putting the laughter back? lol x

Thanks for the laugh. We need to lighten up the atmosphere in here every now & then.
I was just watching TV this morning as the Secretary of Defense briefed President Bush. He told Bush that three Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq today. The color ran from Bush's face, and he was visibly shaken. Bush composed himself and asked him, "Just exactly how many is a brazillion?"

yes Sylvia, you are right - there IS a lack of laughter here lately. i think everyone is so worried about getting the big V>N> that they have been afraid to write anything. it really is a shame - the seniors used to have kind of their own little rules, didn't hurt anybody, were there for each other, yet were friends in every sense of the word that you can be on a forum like this. it really is a shame that a few people from outside the group have ruined all of the fun by reporting people. i found this group by accident, i'm not truly a senior (47) but this is one group where i felt comfortable and welcomed. i do so regret that things are the way that they are - i usually check in every day and go over the questions to see if there are any i want to answer, but there haven't been many lately.
please let us have our section back the way it was -- outsiders ----- go away ----- let us have our section the way we want it ---- we don't tell you how to have yours

that was good now one for you
woman brought a very limp parrot into a veterinary surgery. As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, Polly has passed away."
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure? I mean, you haven't done any
testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, shrugged, turned and left the room, returning a few moments later with a beautiful black Labrador. As the bird's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the dead parrot from top to bottom.
He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet fussed the dog and took it out, but returned a few moments later with a cat. The cat jumped up and also sniffed delicately at the ex-bird.
The cat sat back, shook its head, meowed and ran out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but like I said, your parrot is most definitely 100% certifiably ..... dead." He then turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to the woman. The parrot's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "£150!, she cried, £150 just to tell me my bird is dead.!!"
The vet shrugged. "If you'd taken my word for it the bill would only have been £20, but what with the Lab report and the cat scan......"

Yes that made me laugh, and it also reminded me that when I went for a blood test recently, the nurse said "I am just going to give you a little scratch, I am not allowed to say a little prick anymore in case you are offended.OOps I've said it." We both had to laugh.

The majority of us oldens have a good laugh and joke among ourselves.We know what we are laughing at,sometimes it is too subtle for youngsters.
The thing which makes us all glad is "not to be starting out" nowadays.
We are sorry for you,life seems to be such a burden.
