When we are younger, we often feel that we know everything there is to know about life. At times, we may even feel as if we are at the top of our game by then reality sets in. We sometimes have to face the fact that older people have a degree of wisdom that we need to develop in our life. Yes, we may have our youth on our side and we may have some extra energy but when it comes to thinking your way out of a situation, you really can’t beat what life’s experiences offer you. In the following joke, you get to see that factor come through loud and clear.
An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired.
Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they’d shared, where Jerry had carved I love you, Sally.
On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money fifty thousand dollars!
Jerry said, We’ve got to give it back.
Sally said, Finders keepers. She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.
The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money and knocked on their door. Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?
Sally said, No.
Jerry said, She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.
Sally said, Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.
The agents turned to Jerry and began to question him.
One said: Tell us the story from the beginning.
Jerry said, Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday.
The first police officer turned to his partner and said, We’re outta here!
