GRANDMA'S BIRTH CONTROL
The doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life, finally retired.
At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.
As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.
"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?
"Yes, they help me sleep at night."
"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!"
She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee.
"Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks.......
And believe me, it helps me sleep at night. "
You gotta LOVE Grandmas!!!

MOM WAS GETTING swamped with calls from strangers. The reason? A medical billing service had launched an 800 number that was identical to hers. When she called to complain, they told her to get a new number. "I've had mine for twenty years," she pleaded. "Couldn't you change yours?" They refused. So Mom said, "Fine. From now on I'm going to tell everyone who calls that their bill is paid in full." The company got a new number the next day.

Hard of Hearing


While talking with my semi-deaf uncle one evening, I noticed
that his "hearing aid" was actually an earphone from a
transistor radio. The wire had been cut and was sticking
out of his shirt.

"How does that help your hearing?" I asked.

"Don't help my hearing none," he replied.
"Makes people talk louder."
