Saturday smile!

An old one but still made me laugh – yes, I know, there’s no accounting for taste!

And a big thank-you to Cynthia S for passing this on.

MARY’S  CRUISE SHIP DIARY

DEAR DIARY –  DAY 1

All packed for the cruise ship — all my nicest dresses,  swimsuits, short sets.  Really, really  exciting.

Our local Red Hat chapter – The Late Bloomers decided on this “all-girls” trip.  It will be my first one, – and I can’t wait!

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 2

Entire day at sea, beautiful.  Saw whales and dolphins.  Met the Captain today — seems like a very nice man.

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 3

At the pool today.  Did some shuffleboard, hit golf  balls off the deck. Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner.  Felt honored and had a wonderful time.  He is very attractive and attentive.

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 4

Won  $800.00 in the ship’s casino.  Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne.  He asked me to stay the night, but I declined.  Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 5

Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks.

Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night.  Again I declined.  He told me, if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship…  I was shocked.

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 6

Today I saved the lives of all 2,600 passengers and crew!

 

 

Twice.

The selflessness of Mary has me in deep awe!

And another Saturday smile

With enormous thanks to Neil K. in Devon for forwarding these,

The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he’s 97 years old
and we have no idea where the hell he is.

The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

We all get heavier as we get older,
because there’s a lot more information in our heads.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
