Some people tend to look at older people as being a little behind on the times. After all, the world where we live is moving so fast that sometimes, it can be difficult to keep up. That isn’t to say, however, that all old people have just retired to the rocking chair to watch the world go by. Not only do they have their wits about them, they also can use that wisdom and thinking ability to really get ahead in life. In this joke, you will see how one old woman went against the system and in doing so, she made us laugh.
A sweet old lady telephoned St. Joseph’s Hospital. She timidly asked, “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?”
The operator said, “I can, what’s the name and room number?”
The old lady in her weak voice said, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.”
The operator replied, “Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse.”
After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, “Oh, I have good news, her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.”
The old lady said, “Thank you. That’s wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you!”
The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”
The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me sh*t.”
