Elderly Couple
While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for
lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their
trip.
When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table,
and she didn't miss them until after they had been driving about twenty minutes.
By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before
they could find a place to turn around in order to return to the restaurant
to retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man.
He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire
return drive. The more he chided her the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't
let up one minute.
To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. And, as the woman got
out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled
to her....While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and credit card."
