Me too. I didn't want the thread to go off-topic, so I didn't go on and on about how funny the post was, but I was laughing hard when I read Deebye's post :)

You too :)

Well said.

You know what else I find funny? Old people with false teeth! One day at work I saw this elderly lady wobble into our store. She looked like she was about 285 years old and had skin which looked like tree bark. And not the nice looking birch bark, I'm talking about the really crinkled stuff you find on trees in haunted forests.

Anyways, this old lady decided that she was in a perfect place to do some maintenance on her teeth. I'm not sure why she chose the entrance to our store, but I'm sure she had a perfectly valid reason. She reaches into her mouth and pulls our her false teeth and proceeds to wipe them off on her shirt. She plops them back into her mouth and goes on her merry way.

It was very disturbing to witness, but hilarious.

Last weekend I attended a birthday party for my 93 year old grandfather. The whole family was there, even my Uncle Bill from Newfoundland (btw, everyone needs an Uncle Bill from Newfoundland. If you've ever met a Newfie in real life you'll understand). Fun was had by all. We ate dinner at the annointed old-people dinner hour, which was 3 pm.

After dinner came the cake. I was hoping to see 93 birthday candles on the cake, but sadly there were only a dozen or so. It took my grandfather about 3 minutes to blow them all out, and I was afraid he was going to pass out from the effort. After we all indulged in cake, it was time for my grandfather to make a speech.

He thanked us all for being there, and expressed appreciation for the cards and gifts. He wrapped up his speech by accidently spitting his false teeth out into the half-eaten cake in front of him.

That was the end of the party for him. He left and I got drunk with my Newfie Uncle Bill.
