#7. Foursomes are encouraged.
#6. You can still make money doing it as a senior.

Lesson of the Day
The last four letters in American............I Can
The last four letters in Republican..........I Can
The last four letters in Democrats..........Rats
End of Lesson *
* - Just in case you were wondering if I had had a stroke or my evil twin had taken over the blog, no. This is just lil' ol' me sitting around in my spandex bobsled suit and helmet with head warmer on doing my part to mollify the few conservative readers this blog has. FWIW, I'd say it is cute wordplay but I'd alspo add I think it just about exhausts their collective ability to be humorous and clever. Lastly, I do wonder how old this joke is?
A couple of days after this was posted, an artist contacted me and said, "One should also note that the last four letters in Democrats, spelled backwards is 'Star'."

The Shredder
A young engineer was leaving the office at 5:45 p.m. when he found the Acting CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the Acting CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the young engineer. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the Acting CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, "I just need one copy."
Moral - Never, ever assume that your boss knows what he's doing.

Answering to Full-body Scanners at Airport Controversy
Here's a solution to all the controversy over installing full-body scanners at airports.
Have a booth that people step into with all their carry on luggage and without them having to take off their shoes or coats. This booth does not X-ray you, but it will detonate any explosive device you may have on or with you.
Problem solved! Except maybe for cleaning it up for the next passenger.

Older Person Friendly Policies at Work
Charley, a new retiree greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5,10,15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded, a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their “Older Person Friendly” policies. One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.
“Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic. You’re doing a bang-up job, but your being late so often is really quite bothersome.”
“Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it.”
‘’Well, good. You’re a team player. That’s what I like to hear. It is odd though, you’re coming in late. I know you’re retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say if you came in late there?”
"They said, ‘Good morning, Admiral, can I get you coffee, Sir?’"

Diagnosis
I went to see my Doctor for fluid on my knee.
After a brief examination the Doctor said, "You're not aiming straight."

Wisdom Of A Retiree
I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?
Well.. I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is turning beer, wine, Scotch, and margaritas into urine.

Gonorrhea Lectim
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD). The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior. The disease is Gonorrhea Lectim, pronounced "gonna re-elect them."
Most victims contracted it over the previous two decades. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how destructive this disease has become since it is easily cured by voting out all incumbents!

A Little Known Baseball Fact
The first testicular guard (Cup) was used in baseball in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1934. It took 60 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.

It's All in the Delivery
Six retired Irishmen were playing poker in O'Leary's apartment when Paddy Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five continue playing standing up.
Michael O'Conner looks around and asks, 'Oh, me boys, someone got's to tell Paddy's wife. Who will it be?'
They draw straws. Paul Gallagher picks the short one.
They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.
'Discreet??? I'm the most discreet Irishmen you'll ever meet. Discretion is me middle name. Leave it to me.'
Gallagher goes over to Murphy's house and knocks on the door.
Mrs. Murphy answers, and asks what he wants.
Gallagher declares, 'Your husband just lost $500, and is afraid to come home.'
'Tell him to drop dead!', says Murphy's wife.
'I'll go tell him.' says Gallagher.

The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please! Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
