Not All Seniors Are Senile An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.
The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The old man said, ‘No, I’d like to see something more special.’
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. ‘Here’s a stunning ring at only $40,000’ the jeweler said.
The young lady’s eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.
The old man seeing this said, ‘We’ll take it.’
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, ‘by check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I’ll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I’ll pick the ring up Monday afternoon,’ he said.
Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. ‘There’s no money in that account.’
‘I know,’ said the old man, ‘But let me tell you about my weekend!’
Yesterday was really a beautiful day! Aaron and Ben helped me hook up the old tow cable to the wooden climber and the swing set and we hauled them both over to The Edge Of The World. There’s a drainage ditch about 4 feet deep and at least that wide that runs across the entire south length of our property. We only mow the grass to within about 12 to 15 feet of that ditch and things grow pretty wild and woolly along there with all the water available and the deep shade of many trees. Whenever we have any fallen trees, broken limbs, grass clippings or anything that will encourage critters to hang around ... we always say, “Go throw it over the edge of the world!” That being that unknown expanse of wilderness by the drainage ditch. So now the old playground equipment and the busted basketball hoop are standing in the wilderness at the edge of the world.
