We are all born with a certain amount of wisdom but as we get older, we tend to accumulate more of that wisdom and use it in our lives. By the time we are ready to retire, we have likely accumulated enough wisdom that we can really hold our own. That doesn’t mean, however, that you are not capable of learning something new and that fact really comes out clearly in the following joke. It’s about two old women that are enjoying a cigarette together when one learns something that she never knew before.
Two old ladies are outside their nursing home, having a smoke, when it starts to rain. One of the ladies pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette and continues smoking.
Lady 1: What’s that?
Lady 2: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn’t get wet.
Lady 1: Where did you get that?
Lady 2: You can get them at any drugstore.
The next day, Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.
The guy, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand she prefers.
Lady 1: Doesn’t matter son, as long as it fits a camel.
The pharmacist faints.
