At the physical, the Doctor directed the reluctant recruit to read the eye chart across the room.

''What chart doc?" the young man asked.

"The one on the wall!'' the doctor said.

'What wall?' said the young man.

Sensing he had a deadbeat on his hands, and wanting to fill his quota, the doctor asked his nurse to strip down and walk into the exam room.

'Now what do you see son?'

"Doc, I can't see a thing, I'm as blind as a bat."

"Well, you may not see anything," the doctor said, "but your dick is pointing straight toward Paris Island, South Carolina. Welcome to the U.S. Marine Corps."

Greetings,
An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I drinks one for each o' me brothers and one for me self."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."
The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," He explains, "It's just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. 'Hasn't affected me brothers a bit though

Aging
Aunt Mildred was a 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over
the recent death of her husband. She decided that she would just kill
herself and join him in death.

Sad "huh" .

Thinking that it would be best to get it over with
quickly, she took out his old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot
herself in the heart, since it was badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable
and a burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to
just exactly where the heart would be on a woman. The doctor said, 'Your
heart would be just below your left breast'.

Later
that night........ Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot
wound to her knee.

The Explanation

The Explanation

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much.

People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because
they have more information in their brains, scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so too, do humans take longer to access information when their brains are full.

Researchers say this slowing down process is not the same as cognitive decline.

The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more.

Also, older people often go to another room to get something & when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise.

SO THERE!!

I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names...

That's why alcoholics who gain greater age and finally sober up are so smart and quick thinking in their 80's/90's. Proving that in heavy drinking "Blackouts" do serve a purpose... keeps storage room in the brain available for future usage by not filling it with years of meaningless, incidental minutia!

An elderly couple just learned how to send text messages on their mobile phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy.

One day, the wife was out of the home and decided to send her husband a romantic text message; she wrote:

"If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you."

The husband sent a text back to her: "I'm on the toilet. Please advise."

Some daily tips for easier living.


1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop them

2. Avoid arguments with females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink

3. For high blood pressure sufferers, simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes thus reducing the pressure in your veins.

4. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button

5. If you've got a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be scared sh**less to cough.

6. You only need two tools in life - WD 40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, then use WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, duct tape's the answer.

7. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Father O’Malley, an Irishman, was transferred to a parish in Texas. He rose from his
bed the next morning, fine spring day. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get
the full view of the beautiful day outside. He saw there was a jackass lying dead in the
middle of his front lawn.

He promptly called the local police station. The conversation went like this:

"Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"

"And the best of the day to yourself. This is Father O'Malley
at St. Ann 's Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead in me
front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care
of the matter?"

Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and
recognizing the accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good
father. "Well now, Father, it was always my impression that you
people took care of the last rites!"

There was dead silence on the line for a moment or two. Then
Father O'Malley replied, "Aye, 'tis certainly true, but we are also obliged to
notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call!"
