My 80 year old uncle has a new girlfriend


I called and congratulated him on his new girlfriend.
Then he says,

"Dating is different then 40 years ago.
Use to be you'd put a couple of extra condoms in your pocket...now you put a couple of extra hearing aid batteries in your pocket."

But not hearing it when she says she's ready would be a concern.

My elderly uncle met a woman online - younger. Her career was scamming elderly men.

given at that advanced age companionship (which would necessitate the ability to hear properly) would be more of a priority than sxx
