An absent-minded husband thought he had conquered his problem of trying to remember his wife’s birthday and their anniversary. He opened an account with a florist, provided that florist with the dates and instructions to send flowers to his wife on these dates along with an appropriate note signed, “Your loving husband.”

His wife was thrilled by this new display of attention and all went well until next year, on their anniversary, when he came home, kissed his wife and said offhandedly, “Nice flowers, honey. Where did you get them?”

An elderly couple returned to a Mercedes dealership to find the salesman had just sold the car they were interested in to a beautiful blonde girl.

“I thought you said you would hold that car until we raised the $75,000 asking price,” said the man. “Yet, I just heard you closed the deal for $65,000 to that lovely lady there. You insisted there could be no discount on this model.”

“Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash ready and just look at her, how could I resist?” replied the grinning salesman.

“Just then, the young woman approached the old folks and handed them the keys. “There you go,” she said. “I told you I could get this joker to drop the price. See you later grandpa.”

Never mess with the elderly.
