My husband, a big-time sports fan, was watching a football game with our grandchildren. He had just turned 75 and was feeling a little wistful.
"You know," he said to our grandson Nick, "it's not easy getting old. I guess I'm in the fourth quarter now."
"Don't worry, Grandpa," Nick said cheerfully. "Maybe you'll go into overtime."

That afternoon, George told his wife, Laura, about the urinal.
"Just think," he said," when I am President, I'll get to have a gold urinal!"
