GREETER REFRESHMENTS A LITTLE SENIOR HUMOR --- Idle thoughts of a retiree's wandering mind --- ...... I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it. ...... I had amnesia once -- or twice. ...... Protons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic. ...... All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. ...... If the world was a logical place, men would be the ones who ride horses sidesaddle. ...... What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free? ...... They told me I was gullible... and I believed them. ...... Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone. ...... One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people. ...... My weight is perfect for my height -- which varies. ...... I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. ...... The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity. ...... How can there be self-help "groups"? ...... How can there be self-help "groups"? ...... Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants on. ...... Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken? ...... Hopefully I'll figure this out in 2011. JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT MEETING TUESDAY, MAY 3rd AT 1:30 PM COLORADO SPRINGS SENIOR CENTER
