Grins & Giggles Grandpa Knows Best A mother decided one Christmas that she wasn’t going to remind her kids any longer of their need to write thank-you notes. The result of this was that Granddad never received any thank yous for the very generous cheques he’d written to the kids. However, the following year, things were different. “All the kids came over personally to thank me” said Granddad, in a triumphant manner… “That’s great,” said his daughter, “why do you think they decided to change their behaviour?” “Well, that’s easy,” declared Granddad, “this year I didn’t sign the cheques…” Call a Doctor An old man enters a hospital to have a minor operation. A nurse begins to take down his information: name, insurance company, etc. “In case of emergency, whom should we notify?” “You mean if I become very sick?” “Well...yes.” “If that happens, call a doctor!” Wisdom Comes With Age An old man went to the doctor complaining of a terrible pain in his leg. “I am afraid it’s just old age,” replied the doctor, “there is nothing we can do about it.” “That can’t be,” fumed the old man, “you don’t know what you are doing.” “How can you possibly know I am wrong?” countered the doctor. “Well it’s quite obvious,” the old man replied, “my other leg is fine, and it’s the exact same age!” Washington Post Writers Group CSANews | FALL 2017 | 53
