WEBSIDE HUMOUR

Old-age romance

Illustration: Sandeep JoshiGrandpa and grandma were sitting in their porch rockers watching the beautiful sunset and reminiscing about "the good old days," when grandma turned to grandpa and said, "Honey, do you remember when we first started dating and you used to just casually reach over and take my hand?"

Grandpa looked over at her, smiled and obligingly took her aged hand in his. Grandma pressed a little farther, "Honey, do you remember how after we were engaged, you’d sometimes lean over and suddenly kiss me on the cheek?" Grandpa leaned slowly toward grandma and gave her kiss on her cheek. Growing bolder still, grandma said, "Honey, do you remember how, after we were first married, you’d kind of nibble on my ear?"

Grandpa slowly got up from his rocker and headed into the house. Alarmed, grandma said, "Honey, where are you going?"

Grandpa replied, "To get my teeth!"

An act of Courage

A man appears before St Peter at the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St Peter asks.

"Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers.

"On a trip to the Black Hills, out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of macho bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker. I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground, and told him, "Leave her alone now or you’ll answer to me."

St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?"

"Just a couple minutes ago."

Art attack

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time.

"I have good news and bad news," the owner replied.

"The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death."

"When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings."

"That’s wonderful," the artist exclaimed.

"What’s the bad news?"

"The guy was your doctor..."
