Super Bowl 39 - That's the way it WAS!

This short video at the start of Super Bowl 39.
Oh how things have changed! GOD Bless America. 



And THIS, my friends, is the way it was. That's a lot to give up in 13 short years.

No pop stars, no vocal show offs, 
just the Star Spangled Banner, the cadets, 
and the US Army Herald Trumpet Corps.

Gotta Love The Seniors!!!

Read all the way to the end it's worth it
Who says senior citizens don't wear stylish clothes. Hah!







During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, 
"How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON.
OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE? :

Congratulations!

Well, congratulations, you're not colour blind either!





SENIOR CITIZENS ARE THE NATION'S LEADING CARRIERS OF AIDS!

HEARING AIDS


BAND AIDS


ROLL AIDS


WALKING AIDS


MEDICAL AIDS


GOVERNMENT AIDS


MOST OF ALL,


MONETARY AIDS TO THEIR KIDS!




Not forgetting HIV (Hair is Vanishing)
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.


I'm only sending this to my 'old' friends.
