Senior Thesis

"Senior Thesis"*

*A group of senior citizens were exchanging complaints about their
ailments.

"My arm is so weak that I can hardly hold this coffee cup."

"Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad that I can't see to pour my coffee."

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck."

"My blood pressure pills make my dizzy."

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old."

"Well, it's not all bad. We should be thankful that we can still drive."

"All In The Family"*

*A man was brought to Mercy Hospital and taken in for
an emergency coronary surgery. The operation went
well and, as the groggy man regained consciousness,
he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.

"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun,
gently patting his hand. "We do need to know, however,
how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"

"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.

"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.

"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."

"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun essayed.

"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But she's a humble
spinster nun."

"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not 'spinsters.' They are
married to God."

"Wonderful," said Smith. "In that case, please send the bill to my
brother-in-law."
