The Old Ones are The Best - Or the Worst?
Drive on....Classic Car Joke
A group of pensioners were discussing their medical problems at the Day Centre coffee morning.
'Do you realise,' said one, 'My arm is so weak I can hardly hold this coffee cup.'
'Yes, I know.' replied the second, 'My cataracts are so bad I can't see to pour the coffee.'
'I can't turn my head,' rejoined the third, 'because of the arthritis in my neck.'
'My blood pressure pills make my dizzy,' commented the fourth, adding, 'I guess that's the price we pay for getting old.'
'Well, it's not all bad.' piped up the first, 'We should be thankful that we can still drive.'

Stupid Football Players
A football coach walked into the changing room before a game. He looked over to his new signing and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play since you failed arithmetic, but we need you to be in the team. So, what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right then you will be allowed to play."
The player agreed, so coach looked into his eyes intently and asked, "Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this. What is two plus two?"
The player thought for a moment and then answered, "4?"
"Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he had got it correct.
Suddenly all the other players on the team began shouting..., "Come on coach, give him another chance!"

Jokes! because sharing is caring :)
Real requests fielded by an American travel agent.
Bad Hair Day
A New Hampshire Congresswoman asked me to book her an aisle seat on the airplane. She did not want her hair to get messed up by being near the window.
Passport Saga
I got a call from a Congress man, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain that he needed a passport. He interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts."
Without trying to make him lose face, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in
Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa." Her response - click, the phone went dead.
Map Reading
A Senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we booked for him. I asked for details of what was wrong with the hotel in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don’t lie to me. I am looking at the map, and Florida is a very thin state!!!"
More Map Reading
I got a call from a Lawmaker’s wife who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close on the map."
Big Airport in Texas
An Aide for a Bush cabinet member once called and asked if they could rent a car in Dallas. When I looked at the reservation, I noticed that they only had a one-hour stop-over Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car for just an hour, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between the gates to save time.
