*** But, You Are Never Too Late To Learn ...

An old man has recently started a course called 'Computers for the Terrified.' He's nearly eighty and, although used to be an engineer within the British Royal Airforce, he is completely stuck when it comes to computers.
He came back from his first evening at this course. When asked by his grandson how it had gone, he replied, 'Yes, it was really good. I really enjoyed it, but I really couldn't get to grips with my mole.'
His grandson stopped for a second, completely puzzled, until he realised he was talking about the mouse.

** Marriage carries 4-lettered words ~



Rupert and Elaine, young couple, got married and went happily on their honeymoon.
 
When they got back, Elaine immediately 'phoned her mother and her mother obviously asked, 'How was the honeymoon, dearest?'

'Oh, Ma,' she replied, 'the honeymoon was wonderful. So romantic...'

Then Elaine burst out crying. 'But, Ma, as soon as we returned home Rupert started using the most ghastly language... saying things I've never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come get me and take me home.... Please Ma.'


'Calm down, Elaine!,' said her mother, 'Tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?'
Still sobbing, Elaine whispered, 'Oh, Ma...words like dust, wash, cook, and iron.'

** The promise of marriage ~


Molly and Peter have been married for almost 48 years and have raised a brood of 12 children and are blessed with 23 grandchildren.


When asked the secret for staying together all that time, Molly replies, 'Many years ago we made a promise to each other: the first one to pack up and leave has to take all the kids.'


** Celebrating  marriage ~


While enjoying a lunchtime pint in a Newcastle pub in the Scotswood Road, four elderly Geordies* were discussing everything from football, the economy, to the weather, to how things used to be in the "good old days."

Eventually the conversation moved on to their wives. One bloke turned to the guy on his right and asked, 'He, Alan, aren't you and your lass celebrating your fiftieth wedding anniversary soon?'


'Sure, man, we are,' Alan replied.

'Well, are you gonna do anything special to celebrate, man?' another bloke asked.


Alan pondered this for a moment, then replied, 'For our twenty-fifth anniversary, I took Hazel to Sunderland. Maybe for our fiftieth, I'll go down there and get her back.'


** Geordie - is a regional nickname for a person from the Tyneside region of England, or the name of the dialect of English spoken by these people.
