It pays to be careful around old people.

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up.
After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this gesture about five more times.
When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady,
"Why don't you eat the peanuts yourselves?".
"We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied.
The puzzled driver asks, "Why do you buy them then?"
The old lady replied, "We just love the chocolate around them."


I don't think I'll ever eat peanuts, at my mom's, the same way ever again! And I thought she was cutting down on salt... now I'll be wondering!... Darn!

My lady that is the first time I've laughed out loud at a joke here on the intertubes in years. Merci boucoup.(I hope I spelled that right, as that's the extent of my French)

It is "merci beaucoup", but you wrote it the way it sounds. All good!
