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's the name of the restaurant?"

The first man knits his brow in obvious concentration, and finally says

to his companion, "Aahh, what is the name of that red flower you give

to someone you love?"

His friend replies, "A Carnation?"

"No. No. The other one" the man says.

His friend offers another suggestion, "The Poppy?"

"Nahhhh," growls the man, "You know the one that is red and has

thorns."

His friend says, "Do you mean a rose?"

“Yes, Yes that's it. Thank you!" the first man says.

He then turns toward the kitchen and yells, "Rose, what's the name of

that restaurant we went to last night?

Oh, that's funny, Lois!! LOL

 

Reminds me of this one I found & told my Mom:

 

***Memory problem***

 

An 80 year old couple were having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing was wrong with them.

 

When they arrived at the doctors, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left.

 

Later that night while watching TV, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, "Where are you going?"

 

He replied, "To the kitchen."

 

She asked, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"

 

He replied, "Sure."

 

She then asked him, "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?"

 

He said, "No, I can remember that."

 

She then said, "Well I would also like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you'll forget that."

 

He said, "I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."

 

She replied, "Well I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you better write it down."

 

With irritation in his voice, he said, "I don't need to write that down! I can remember that." He then fumed into the kitchen.

 

After about 20 minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily: "I TOLD you to write it down! You forgot my toast!"

A pastor went to visit an elderly woman from the church. As they sipped their tea he said "You know, Gladys, at your age, you should start thinking about the 'here after' ". She smiled a bright smile and she excitidly exclaimed, "Oh, I think about the here after all the time...when I go upstairs, or to the kitchen, even down to the basement. I always find myself thinking 'Now what am I here after????' "
