Some Enchanted Evening

My father in law, who was dying of brain cancer, came home from a hospital stay. It was his and my mother in law’s anniversary so I suggested they invite a few friends over for dinner…

Jimmy managed to get out of bed to join us. The strain of feeding himself and the presence of guests were obviously tiring him. Knowing that he could not hear very well, my mother in law passed a note to me to give to him. I read it and got hysterical with laughter. She remembered what she wrote and laughed too.

The note read, “Happy Anniversary Dear. Do you want to go to bed?”

Jimmy read his wife’s note, looked across the table, and with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face said, “I would love to dear, but we have company!”

BP Mystery Explained!

708579_blood_pressure_1A man goes into the doctor for his annual physical. The nurse is taking his basic information.

“How much do you weigh?” she asked.

“One fifty, same as when I was in college!” he replied proudly.

“Why don’t you just step on the scale, and we’ll check,” she said. Turns out, he was one hundred and eighty seven pounds.

Then she asked how tall he was.

“Six foot one.”

Upon measuring, however, it turns out that he was closer to five foot nine.

It was time for the blood pressure check, which came in at 190/110.

“That’s a little high,” she told him.

“Well, what do you expect? When I came in, I was tall and lanky! Now I’m short and fat!”
