I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics.
How much do you weigh?" she asks.
"115," I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is140.
The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 8," I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 5".
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"
She put me on Prozac.

Canada Pension Plan
Having reached the age of 62, I went to apply for Canada Pension last week.
After waiting in line for a very long time, I finally got to the counter. The woman there asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized, to my great dismay, that I had left my wallet on the nightstand in my bedroom.
I told the lady that I was very sorry, but I seemed to have left my wallet at home. "I'll have to go get it and come back later," I said. At that point, she said to me, Unbutton your shirt."
I was confused, but I opened my shirt, revealing lots of curly silver hair.
She said, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me," and, with that, she promptly processed my application.
When I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife about my experience at the Canada Pension Office.
She listened to the whole story and then said, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too."
Have a great weekend everyone!

Ha! Love it.
Once, about three years ago, I was measured at the doctor's office. The nurse says, "okay, you are 5'8." I say, "I don't think that's right. I've always been somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10." She looks at me very seriously and says "EVERYONE tells me they are at least an inch taller than I measure." Uh Hello? Maybe you're doing sometihng wrong lady!!!
Thanks for the laugh. Have a good weekend!
