Three elderly men, Eddie, Jenkin and Martin men go to the doctor's for
their memory test. It's a miracle they remembered the appointment!
Anyway, the doctor begins by asking Eddie, "What is five times five?"
"191," is his reply.
The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to Jenkin,
"It's your turn. What is five times five?" "Wednesday," replies Jenkin
man.
The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay Martin
it's your turn. What's five times five?" "Twenty five," says Martin.
"That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get your answer?"
"Easy," says Martin, "just subtract 191 from Wednesday."

and discover you aren't wearing any.
It takes two tries to get up from the couch.

You step off a curb and look down one more time to make
sure the street is still there.
Getting "lucky" means you remember where you left your
car in the car park.
Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt; doesn't work.

don't even remember being on top of it.

than on your head.

A priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician, who was also a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and give a little
leaving speech at the dinner. He was delayed so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.
'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I
had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when stopped by the police, had almost murdered the officer. He had stolen
money from his parents, embezzled from his place of business, had an affair with his boss's
wife, taken illegal drugs. I was appalled. But as the days went on I knew that my people were not all like that and I
had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'
Just as the priest finished his talk the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the
presentation and give his speech.
'I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived, 'said the politician.'
In fact, I had the honour of being the first one to go to him in confession.'
Three elderly gentlemen were talking about what their grandchildren would be saying about them fifty years from now.
'I would like my grandchildren to say, 'He was successful in business', declared the first man.
'Fifty years from now, 'said the second, 'I want them to say, 'He was a loyal family man'
.
Turning to the third gent, the first gent asked, 'So what do you
want them to say about you in fifty years?'
'Me?'
the third man replied. 'I want them all to say, 'He certainly looks good for his age!'
Classic Proposal
Charlie, aged 86, was very contented living in the Clarendon Nursing Home
just outside Stubbington, Hampshire, England. After meeting Maisie, 77, he
grew even happier and fell deeply in love. Only last week Charlie plucked up
the courage, got down on his knees and told her there were two things he
would like to ask her.
Maisie smiled and replied, 'Alright.' Charlie asked softly, 'Will you
marry me?'
Delighted, Maisie answered him, 'Yes.' She then asked Charlie
what his second question was. He replied, 'Maisie, will you help me get
up, please?'
How many retirees to change a light bulb? Only one, but it might
take him all day.
A group of Americans was travelling on a bus tour through France and were
in the Loire Valley quite near to the town of Sancerre. They stopped at the
nearby village of Chavignol and visited a cheese farm where the world famous
'Crottin de Chavignol' goat's cheese is made; their guide, who was the
farmer's wife, led them through a process of cheese making, explaining how
goat's milk was used.
Madame showed the group a picturesque hillside where many goats were
grazing. These, she explained, were the older goats put out to pasture when
they no longer produced. Madame then asked, turning to the group,
'What do you do in the USA with your old goats that aren't producing?'
One spry and very quick elderly gentleman answered, 'They send us on bus
tours.'
Now I'm in semi-retirement and growing older, I thought that I might
break-down my time and present my findings in a pie chart. This is what
my day looks like pictorially:
Ideal Poem For a Retirement Speech
You wake up in the morning With nothing to do How you're going to
fill your day You haven't a clue By the time you've had a leisurely
breakfast Your energy starts to sap Before lunch the chances are
You'll find the time to fit in a nap At lunch, avoid drinking coffee
That's far too soon You don't want it keeping you awake All the
afternoon Get some fresh air Go into the garden for a bit Busy
yourself Having a nice long sit When you're thoroughly worn out
With all that fresh air Take yourself back indoors To your favourite
armchair Where you can have a good contemplate About ways to get
thinner But try to fit in 40 winks Just ahead of dinner Then relax
in the evening Trying to understand How you only managed to get done
Half the things you'd planned Never mind, don't bother yourself With
any regret or sorrow You've got plenty of time to fail To do it all
again tomorrow
The basic idea is to convey the significance of the retirement milestone with a
humour and an eloquence that suits the occasion.
Firstly welcome everyone to the function; especially the most senior
members of the organization. Tell the assembled company something about yourself which will
introduce you to the guests who do not know you particularly well.
Compliment the ceremony itself and perhaps comment on the food or decor. Inject some humour by relating events in the
planning of the retirement party that you found funny.
Talk about the retiree fondly and amusingly and anecdotally. Have a
couple of stories that are perhaps touching or amusing. Be sure not embarrass
anyone. Talk about their achievements and your special relationship. Talk
about some of the standout moments in their career, make sure the star of
the event is conveyed as an unforgettable individual.
Retirement Speech Check List
Make sure your speech will appeal to a wide range of staff, and
doesn't offend any guests.
Does your speech include a few jokes yet remaining charming?
Have you included thanks to everyone involved?
Consider writing down key points on cards. Even if you never
use them they will give you confidence that you won't dry up.
Remember to finish your oration by toasting the retiree.
Two More Poems To End Your Retirement Speech
»
Dust If You Must
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better To paint a picture, or
write a letter, Bake a cake, or plant a seed; Ponder the difference
between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time, With rivers to swim, and
mountains to climb; Music to hear, and books to read; Friends to
cherish, and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there With the sun in your eyes,
and the wind in your hair; A flutter of snow, a shower of rain, This
day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind, Old age will come and it's not
kind. And when you go (and go you must) You, yourself, will make more
dust.
And So Finally Farewell
Irish Blessings
A sunbeam to warm you, A moonbeam to charm you, A sheltering angel,
so nothing can harm you.
May you always have work for your hands to do. May your pockets hold
always a coin or two. May the sun shine bright on your windowpane. May
the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend
always be near you. And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer
you.
