Senior Driver

My neighbour was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn.

He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair.

He said with excitement, "You seem quite elderly to be driving."

"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly.  "I'll be 97 next month, and I am now old enough that I don't even need a driver's license anymore."

"The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a driver's license. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw it in the waste basket, saying, 'You won't need this anymore,' so I thanked him and left!"

Snow Job

Here's one from the warped mind of one of my clients today...

He said he just got off the phone with a friend who lives in Alberta.  And winters in Canada, as most of us know can get very nasty.  He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping past -30 c and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in.

Five Dollar Bill

When I was just a kid, about ten years old, I found a five dollar bill on the side of the road, near our home.  I came running in the house, very excited about my find.

"Are you sure it was lost?” asked my mother.

“Yes, I’m sure,” I quickly said.  “I saw a man looking for it.”

We've Arrived

Whether we're in a mall, in a restaurant, in a waiting room, driving down the highway, or out for a walk, it doesn't matter... in today's society, what is the most common site observed?  People Texting.  It appears that one on one conversation is a thing of the past. 

 Albert Einstein once said, "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction.  The world will have a generation of idiots."

I think we've arrived.
