A joke about a senior citizen...good twist..

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He was very stubborn about going to the doctor because of the "looks of those things", but finally went and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of very tiny hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. (and you really couldn't see them) The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the Doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to their conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

An Ode to ..."Stuff"

When will it be enough.
I hope to organize soon,'
Will it be today,
Or tomorrow noon?

Stuff, Stuff, Stuff...
Can I ever get rid of stuff?
Throw it out in a huff?
Throw it over there,
Throw it over here
Where did I get this much stuff?


How much is enough?
Of this pile of this stuff?
When will it all be gone?
Probably not for a while
and then I can smile
When I get rid of all these piles of stuff.....


thank you ....hold off the applause....

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
