Three mischievous old women were sitting on a bench outside a nursing home in suburban Philadelphia when an older gentleman walked by.
One of the women called out to him: "We bet we can tell exactly how old you are."
The old man answered her, "There's no way you can guess it, you old fools."
One of the other women answered, "Sure we can! Just drop your pants and under shorts, and we can tell your exact age."
Embarrassed just a little but anxious to prove they couldn’t do it, he dropped his drawers.
They asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times. Then they all piped up and said, "You’re 87 years old!"
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old man asked, "How in the world did you guess?"
Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies happily yelled in unison -- "We were at your birthday party yesterday!"

This was a real Hoot, enjoyed it, first giggle of the day with morning coffee. I am the sole caretaker of my 92 y/o mom, so I shared it with her. She does not get alot of things quickly, but she laughed out loud at this one. 15 yrs ago she was like one of these ladies. She and a couple of other fun lovers used to go to dances. They said ,1 older man acted like he could pick and choose any one he wanted. He also asked the Band to sing 1 song ,every week. Band took a break, 3 ladies left,and he went out side 1st, said to get Fresh air to sing better. My mom stopped at the door, and unwrapped the chain on pushdown bar so door would LOCK after her. They waited hiding between some cars, to see him try to get into bldg. He yelled, beat on outside door, went to band entrance, but Band was playing, knowone heard him, but "the girls" .As they told it, they laughed so hard ,one of them peed on herself.. Maybe this will be another smile for some. . They were a mess !
Witty and funny! Memory loss is sad and confusing to sufferers of dementia diseases and their loving care takers. However, humor is a great tool that can help us all get through it. As my baby boomer and parents' generations age, it is nice to laugh at ourselves while we wait for a cure!
Women, like wine, only get better with age.
Haaa!!! Most definitely telling Mom this one! Her task then will be to re-tell it, which she sometimes needs help in placing a detail or two, but that's how she's always been with jokes. She never fails to good laughs, mostly I think for her charming way of trying to deliver it. Thanks for posting!
