Here are some fun stories about getting old. You might as well laugh.

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, “How old was your husband?”

“98,” she replied. “Two years older than me!”

“So you're 96,” the undertaker commented.

She responded, “Hardly worth going home, is it?”

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:

“And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?” the reporter asked.

She simply replied, “No peer pressure.”

The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.

I feel as if my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, jumped up and down and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over!

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests.

First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.

“Wal-Mart,” the preacher exclaimed.“ Why Wal-Mart?”

“Then I'll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week.”

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing.
