Old People

At a retirement center, a group of seniors were
sitting around talking about all their ailments.

"My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this
cup of coffee," said one.

"Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad
I can't even see my coffee."

"I couldn't even mark an "X" at election time, my
hands are so crippled," volunteered another.

An elderly lady across the room shouted, "What? Speak up!
What? I can't hear you!"

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said
a fifth person, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another.

"Sometimes I forget where I am and other times I
forget where I'm going," said another.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old
man as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, count your blessings," said one old woman cheerfully.
"Thank God we can all still drive!"
