Well, since it wasn't invented until last year or so, I guess it was just plain ignorance.

So I went to the doctor the other day and he said, "I've got bad news. You've got cancer, and you've got Alzheimer's." And I said, "Well, at least I don't have cancer."

My wife was visiting her 94 yr. old father at the assisted living facility today. She often holds his hand as they walk so that he doesn't trip or fall. A fellow asked her how her HUSBAND was doing today. Luckily I was not there (out riding) so I did not get the full brunt of her wrath.

She didn't respond with, "I'm not sure, I've spent all day here with my son" ?

Well DnvrFox, you set it up perfectly and through 31 responses no one jumped on it....I feel obligated to do so now.

Anyone whose been ordering their breakfast as long as you have SHOULD have it memorized by now.

Running away now to protect my nose.
