The average age of people living in our retirement community is 85. Recently, a neighbour turned 100 and a big birthday party was thrown. Even his son turned up.

“How old are you?” a tenant asked.

The tenant shook her head. “They sure grow up fast, don’t they?”

“Poor old fool,” thought the well-dressed gentleman as he watched an older man fishing in a puddle outside a pub. So he invited the old man inside for a drink. As they sipped their whiskies, the gentleman thought he’d humour the man and asked, “So how many have you caught today?”

“What’s a hipster?” asked my four-year-old cousin.

“Is Grandma a hipster?” he asked.

In the hardware store, a clerk asked, “Can I help you find anything?”

“How about my misspent youth,” joked my husband.

The clerk shot back, “We keep that in the back, between world peace and winning lottery tickets.”
