I was thinking about my older brother that actually had illusions of grandeur exactly like you just described. I wished I'd have had a comeback like this one.

She was probably checking for a pulse.

Some people show great concern for the aged.

Did your wife put her hand on her hip and bend back as she asked you, giving a perfect deadbeat delivery?

And did you, after blowing your top a bit, slap on a BIG GRIN and say, "Baby........ YOU'RE THE GREATEST!"

I had my pants on backwards the other day. I couldn't find the pockets and realized that they were on backwards!

I'm pushing the big 70 real soon.

Getting old sucks, esp. when you've had to liquidate what few assets you have to get on Medicaid!

My late husband left me with a hell of a mess. No nothing but problems and ever-increasing bills bills bills en mass!
