A not-so-nice Canadian?

An elderly Canadian gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane. At the French customs desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag.

“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked, sarcastically. The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.

“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”

The Canadian said, “The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.”

“Impossible, Canadians always have to show their passports on arrival in France!”

The Canadian senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look, then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came ashore at Juno Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to.”

What happens in Vegas or the mountains will come back …

One weekend Joe was enticed to go skiing with an old acquaintance, Rolly. They loaded up Rolly's truck and headed into the mountains. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard as they approached the foothills.

They pulled into a nearby farm. An attractive retired woman answered the door. Joe and Rolly asked if they could spend the night.

“I know that it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,” she explained. “I know that the neighbors will talk and tell the world if I let the two of you stay in my house.”

“Don't worry,” Joe replied. “The two of us will be happy to sleep in the barn. Once the weather breaks, we will be out of here immediately headed for the mountains.” The woman agreed, and Joe and Rolly settled in for the night.

Early morning arrived and the weather had cleared. Joe and Rolly left without saying goodbye. They made it safely to the mountains and enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

Nine months later, Joe got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow that Rolly and he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on Rolly at the coffee bar and asked, “Rolly, do you remember that good-looking widow at the farm where we stayed at on our ski holiday up North about nine months ago?”

“Of course I do,” replied Rolly.

“I am just curious,” stated Joe. “Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, while I was fast asleep, and go up to the house and pay her a visit?”

“Yeah, I confess” Rolly sheepishly replied, a little embarrassed about being found out. “I admit that I did.”

“And did you happen to use my name,” continued Joe with his questioning, “instead of telling her your real name?”

Rolly's face turned red and he said, “Yeah, look, I'm sorry, old buddy. I'm afraid I did. By the way, what brought this up? Why do you ask?”

“She just died,” declared Joe, “and left me everything in her will.”

A. A. A. D. D. – Classic Retirement Syndrome

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. – Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests itself:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye: They need to be watered.

I place the Coke down on the work surface, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the work top, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone has left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flower vase, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn't washed.

The bills aren't paid.

There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the work surface.

The flowers don't have enough water.

There is still only one check in my checkbook.

I can't find the TV remote.

I can't find my glasses and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today. I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my email.

P.S. I just remembered I left the water running…

Young vs. old (rooster)

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop to replace an old rooster who was pretty much in retirement.

The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says: “OK, old fart, time for you to retire for good. You should have been in retirement a long time ago.”

The old rooster replies: “Come on, surely you cannot handle all of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens and three or four young hens? This will save you from having to enter retirement before your time.”

The young rooster says: “Beat it: You are washed up and I am taking over. Full retirement will do you good.”

The old rooster says: “I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.”

The young rooster laughs and says: “You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start.”

The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is only about five feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by.

The old rooster is squawking and running as hard as he can. The farmer grabs his shotgun and — BOOM! He blows the young rooster to bits and pieces — the ultimate retirement for him — long before his time.

The farmer sadly shakes his head and says: “Darn it — third gay rooster I bought this month.”

The moral of this story is: Don't mess with the older, retired individuals of this world. Age, skill, wisdom, and a little treachery always overcome youth and arrogance.
