Senior Clubs


Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time, "like sitting around the pool, as drinking wine isn't a good thing.
Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.  She is "only thinking of me," she said, and suggested, I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the fellas.
So, I did and when I got home, decided to play a prank on her.     I sent her an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You're 77 years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.
Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

"Oh man, am I in trouble," I said, "I signed up for five jumps a week!"  The line went dead.

Life as a Senior Citizen isn't getting any easier, but sometimes ... it can be fun.
