Over 50 and humourless.....

Oh dear! A new study of 2000 people conducted for Dave - the TV channel suggests that we really do get more humourless as we age and that we spend more time moaning than when we were younger. You can see a fuller report in a Daily Mail article.
I would interpret the complaining as being more positive in that we are less prepared to put up with poor service, inadequate products and useless bureaucracy. There is of course no details as to how the study was carried out so maybe I might just complain about a newspaper reporting findings uncritically. So there!

Grandmas don't know everything...

Following on from our previous post Mike and I decided that we don't have enough humour in this blog. In fact you don't find much humour in most blogs. My American friends in particular think that this is because of political correctness and a terror of litigious actions.
Well - to hell with that! At our ages we should be able to enjoy some humour so from time to time will share items with you that amused us. Here is one that arrived today.....

Little Tony was 9 years old and was staying with his grandmother for a few days.

He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her,

'Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?'

She was a little taken aback, but she decided to tell him the truth. 'It's called sexual intercourse , darling.'

Little Tony said, 'Oh, OK,' and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily,

'Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse . It's called Bunk Beds.....

.....And Jimmy's mum wants to talk to you.'
