Memory Slipping?

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two elderly gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant, and it was really
great. I would recommend it very highly.”

The other man said, “What is the name of the restaurant?”

The first man thought and thought and finally said, “What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that is red and has thorns.”

“Do you mean a rose?”

“Oh, yes,” the man said, and then he turned toward the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”

I know Your Kind:

Two guys are speeding through Texas when a state trooper pulls them over. The trooper walks up to the drivers side of the car, gets out his billy club and smacks the driver across the face. Stunned, the driver asks, “Why did you do that??’’

The trooper responds, “You’re in Texas now son, you have that license out and ready around here!’’

“I apologize sir, I’m not from around here.’’

The trooper then walks to the passenger side of the car, and taps on the window. The passenger rolls down his window and the trooper takes out his club and smacks the passenger across the face.

“What was that for?’’ asked the passenger.

“I know your kind,’’ says the trooper, “About two miles down the road you would have looked at your buddy and said ‘I wish that jerk would have tried that with me!’’

Bad Food:

A Doctor was addressing a large audience:

“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long- term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?” After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, “Wedding Cake.”

Did God Make You?

A little girl got on her grandpa’s lap and said, “Did God make me?”

“Yes,” the grandpa replied.

“Did God make you too?” “Yes,” the grandpa said.

“Well,” the little girl said, while running her fingers down his wrinkles and looking at his thinning hair, “He sure is doing a better job nowadays!”
