A Conversation With My Doctor

The doctor said, “You are in tremendous health for a man of sixty years old. Did your father live a long life himself before his days were told?” “I’m sorry doctor, did I say he was dead? My father is still very much alive, “In fact he’s living an active life as a man of eighty-five.” “That’s wonderful,” said the doctor, “Great to hear, did his father live a long life too?” “I’m sorry doctor, did I say he was dead? My grandfather is a hundred and two.” “In fact,” I said, “He’s getting married tomorrow to a girl who is thirty three. He satisfies her in many ways, including sexually.” “Oh my gosh, why get married again, when you are a hundred and two?” “I’m sorry doctor,” I repeated again, “Did I say he wanted to?”

So funny!!! It reminds me of that episode on "Seindfeld" wth the three generations of men but they all looked as old as the older generation. When they tried to prove to Jerry how strong they were and tried to lift a TV set I think theyall ended up in the same hospital bed :)
