Do you know I stood in line behind our retired bank manager one day and he was asked to produce identification before they would let him withdraw money. He said "but I was manager at this bank for 15 year. You all know me". "Sorry, rules are rules". I had to laugh. But isn't it poetic justice? There is a God after all.www.retiredandcrazy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130398756223000765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-32697581146008570632009-05-22T03:38:19.243+01:002009-05-22T03:38:19.243+01:00"Senior jokes" always leave me in stitches.

When I FINALLY reached a "real" person after pressing soooo many buttons, I exlaimed, "oh a real person!!!!"<br />You see, I thought it was incredibly dumb to have to wait a week for the phone company to hook up internet. <br />So I said to the "real" person on the phone.."7 days? Are you kidding me? It's not like I'm moving to Tibet! My new place is 10 minutes away from my old place!"<br /><br />Nothing is easy nowadays...tsk tsk...What About The Girl?https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551227929697269183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-14282834089189989282009-05-20T19:40:27.051+01:002009-05-20T19:40:27.051+01:00This is precious.

It often takes an hour to get to the head of the line, and at one point the Pensioner asked a guard whether she could please use the bathroom. <br /> He said no, there weren't any bathrooms for customers. <br /> So she went and primly peed in a corner, behind a potted plant. Then she went back to the line, where the other people there had saved her place for her. They cheered!Nan Sheppardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526627128978409559noreply@blogger.com
