Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?" The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?" The Polish version (at least 40 yrs old itself ) went like this: A journalist is interviewing a 100yr old man. "How can you account for your longevity?" he asks the oldster. "Well," says the old man "I've always led a virtuous life. I never drank, I never smoked, have been abstemious as regards sex, and followed the diet that the doctors recommended. That's what kept me hale and harty all those years" As he finishes his answer, the door to the next room bursts open, an old man appears, reels past the journalist and his subject, mumbles "gotta puke", and disappears in the direction of the bathroom. Through the open door, one can hear the sounds of revelry . "Who was that?" asks the journalist. "That?" says the man, "that was my father. It's his wedding feast" "His wedding feast??? How old is he?" "120" "120??? Why would he want to get married at his age???"

[lace-chat] Blessings
A man who was fond of betting at the race tracks would always go out to the stables before the races to check the condition of the horses, and try to pick the winners. One day, he noticed a priest back in the stables, annointing the head of one of the horses. That horse won the race! The next week when he returned to the tracks, he saw that same priest annointing the head of another horse back in the stables. Sure enough, this second horse went out and won that race! The following week, the man went back to the stables and saw the priest annoint a third horse on its head, its ears, its mane and its hoofs. The man wasted no time in rushing back and putting all his money on that horse for the coming race. Unfortunately, though, the horse slipped and fell during the race, breaking its leg. The man went back to the stables and found the priest. "Hey!" he said. "I saw you annoint those horses the last two weeks, and they won both races. Today I saw you annointed this horse all over, so I put all my money down on it, and it lost the race! What gives?" The priest sighed. "That's the problem with you Protestants," he said. "You don't know the difference between blessings and last rites."

Re: [lace-chat] Neat Trick for DIY roller painters
Ruth wrote: Me too. I just turn the supermarket plasic bag inside out so that any printing does not come in contact with the paint. I also stick the whole tray in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, whilst I take my breaks. I wrap up the paintbrush at the end of the day in plastic wrap and keep that overnight in the refrigerator so I can use it the next day. I have been doing this for years as I am the painter in this household. Anything for quick clean up.

[lace-chat] Fw: THE OLD TIMER
THE OLD TIMER THE OLD TIMER An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?" The old timer said, "I'm a golfer and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways." The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?" The old timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your dad's still alive? How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 100 yrs old and, in fact, he golfed with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive ... he's a golfer." The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?" The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 118 yrs old." The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?" The old timer said, "No... Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he got married." The Doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?" The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"
