AlamoPA Mailing List: Senior Parachute Club- - -Daily chuckle!

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

Your laugh for today.

 

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time...”sitting on the front porch smoking a good cigar and sipping a great single malt isn't a good thing?" I asked.  (Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.)

She is "only thinking of me," she said, and suggested, I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the fellas. So, I did and when I got home, decided to play a prank on her.

I sent her an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.

She replied, "Are you nuts? You're 75-years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"

I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.

Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?!

This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

"Oh man, am I in trouble," I said, "I signed up for five jumps a week!"

The line went dead.

Life as a Senior Citizen isn't getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.
