Retirees: The Whole Truth, Nothing But...

My best friend here in Geezerville sent me one of the those e-mails that have been forwarded a gazillion times. Normally (What's normal in this blog?), I hit delete after reading a few or delete without opening. This time, I read all the way to the end. Since the demographic revolution is upon us — i.e., more geezers than ever before in our history — this blog performs a public service. Below is what passes for humor in Geezerville. If this is (fair & balanced) jocularity, so be it.


Q: When is a retiree's bedtime?
A: Three hours after he falls asleep on the couch.

Q: How many retirees to change a light bulb?
A: Only one, but it might take all day.

Q: What's the biggest gripe of retirees?
A: There is not enough time to get everything done.

Q: Why don't retirees mind being called Seniors?
A: The term comes with a 10% percent discount.

A: The never ending Coffee Break.

Q: What's the biggest advantage of going back to school as a retiree?
