Laughter is the best medicine…

An elderly woman from Brooklyn decided to prepare her will and make her final requests. She told her rabbi she had two final requests. First, she said she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Bloomingdales.

“Bloomingdales!” the rabbi exclaimed, “Why Bloomingdales?”

“Then I’ll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week.”

 

Laughter is the best medicine…

After much insistence from his wife, Sam visited an audiologist. There, he was told that, yes, he would need hearing aids and they ranged in price from $10.00 to $2,000.

“I’ll try the $10.00 pair” Sam said.

The nurse placed hearing aids into his ears and hung a wire around his neck. “Does the wire really have to be around my neck?” asked Sam.

“Why of course,” replied the nurse. “You think these things in your ears do anything? It’s the wire around your neck — it makes people talk louder!”

Hospital rules state that patients checking out must have a wheelchair. One day a newly graduated nurse assistant came into the room to find an elderly man fully dressed, sitting on the bedside chair, with a piece of packed luggage at his side, all ready to go. When he was shown the wheelchair, he was adamant that he was fully capable of walking himself to the parking lot. But the assistant told him rules were rules, so he relented and let her wheel him out.

In the elevator, the assistant asked the elderly man if his wife was coming to meet him. “I don’t think so,” he replied. “It takes her awhile to change her clothes, so she’s probably still upstairs in the bathroom taking off her hospital gown and getting dressed.”
