Old People: Now With Funny Stories!

Picture this: An elderly man, hard of hearing, is sitting in the front passenger seat of a car. His elderly wife is sitting in the back seat. The man's coat is draped over the seatback.

She says something to him. He doesn't respond. She says it again. Still no response.

She says, more loudly, "Do you have your hearing aides in?" He doesn't make any move of recognition. She repeats her query, louder yet. He at last responds, with an, "eh?" He doesn't turn around or anything.

She reaches into his coat pocket, and pulls out a little cloth pouch. She prods him on the shoulder a couple times, holding the puch over it. He turns his head and sees his hearing aides. He laughs, "How subtle!"

Umm... yeah, it was more funny at the time. I guess you'd have to be there.

Found this amusing too:


Have to cater to the majority asian population. Just odd seeing it at a place like Jack in the Box.

I'll close with a random question which I knew the answer to, but don't: what race is Yoda?
