My neighbor was working in his
                                                          yard when he
                                                          was startled
                                                          by a 1980's
                                                          white 4-door
                                                          sedan that
                                                          came crashing
                                                          through his
                                                          hedge and
                                                          ended up in
                                                          his front
                                                          lawn.
                                                          
                                                          
He rushed to
                                                          help an
                                                          elderly lady
                                                          driver out of
                                                          the car and
                                                          sat her down
                                                          on a lawn
                                                          chair.
                                                          
                                                          
He said with
                                                          excitement,
                                                          "You appear

                                                          I went to my
                                                          doctor, he
                                                          examined me
                                                          and asked if I
                                                          had a driver's
                                                          license. I
                                                          told him 'yes'
                                                          and handed it
                                                          to him. He
                                                          took scissors
                                                          out of the
                                                          drawer, cut it
                                                          into pieces,
                                                          and threw them
                                                          in the waste
                                                          basket,
                                                          saying, 'You
                                                          won't need
                                                          this
                                                          anymore'.  So
                                                          I thanked him
                                                          and left!"
Thanks Dan ! 


I thought it was normal to park in the neighbors yard...
ReplyDeleteIf you were young and and drunk and crashed through somebody's yard, they'd want to kick your butt. When you're old, they just cluck their tongues (while you're laughing inside).
ReplyDeleteRandy, so did I.
ReplyDeleteLL, That keeps happening to me.
ReplyDeleteThat hedge needed trimming anyway!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahaha. Well he should have been more specific. I'm just saying.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. ☺
I am getting my eyes checked soon...So I can keep a better eye out for these ELDERS!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going there... yet!
ReplyDeleteI think I am there now.
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law already drives like that, and she's only in her 40s. Gawd help us all if she makes it into her 90s!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, I've met a few like that.
ReplyDeleteDamn you mean I have to have a driver's license---thought when I reached 65 those days were over, just like the hunting license thing.
ReplyDeleteOpie, was that an off color comment?
ReplyDeleteSandee, so it's OK because you might not understand.
ReplyDeleteScotty, what did you call me.
ReplyDeleteCube, trust me you don't want to.
ReplyDeleteAdmiral, I've been watching you and you're there. Welcome aboard.
ReplyDeleteInno, I feel her pain. Where the hell have you been?
ReplyDeleteEdutcher, hey what do you mean?
ReplyDeleteRon, a what?
ReplyDeleteIn my wild and misspent youth, one job I had was taking the driver's license photos.
ReplyDeleteIf you knew how unfit some people are to drive (and they ain't all old), you wouldn't live within 50 miles of a road.
I think that I see several seniors without drivers licenses every day around here -- especially during the "off hours" of weekdays (not so much on weekends).
ReplyDeleteEdutcher, I'm in trouble then.
ReplyDeleteAOW, Reno is full of them.
