Laughter is the best medicine… I would rather laugh at myself than cry, so I thought a thread for appropriate jokes many of us could relate to would be uplifting and cheering. I received this first one from my cousin who loves me…
\nGrandma & Grandpa’s Road Trip<\/strong>
\nWhile on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
\nAfter finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip.
\nWhen leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table and she didn’t miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes.
\nBy then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around — in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.
\nAll the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man.
\nHe fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her — the more agitated he became. He just wouldn’t let up one minute.
\nTo her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant.
\nAs the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her ….
\n‘While you’re in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
