    Default Bad back

    I had to go to VA today for my annual kidney checkup. Before I got to the clinic I had to stop at blood draw where they have a ticket machine. So I pulled a number, it was 71, and sat outside the door on my scooter waiting for them to call that number. Finally, a lady looks straight at me out of the door and asks me, "69?" I said, "Not anymore, I have a bad back." She laughed pretty well and then guess who I got to take my blood when my number was called. She said something or other about me being a character and I told her, "My wife says that I am totally corrigible, and she would know because we have been married almost 45 years." Shaking her head she then said, "That's how old I am." I could not believe the setup. So I asked her, "What's your mother's name?" She said oh my gosh quit it.

    That's great that you had such a good interaction with the blood draw lady; sometimes the people down at my clinic make it seem like they are just marking time til lunch or quitting time.

    I come from a long line of dirty old men. My father married my 20 year old mother when he was 40. I'm 69, the oldest woman I've ever gone out with is 44. There is just something about the young ones.

    A man is only as old as the woman he feels.
