Three old gentlemen well into their 90s, were sat in their arm chairs around an open fire, when the subject turned to getting older. The first one said âas you both know I was always a great lover of the arts. Iâve travelled all around the world and thereâs not a gallery I havenât seen. Then just last week I paid a visit to the Tate. I looked around the paintings but now that the eye sightâs fading itâs just the same any-moreâ.
After a few nods and murmurs of agreement, the second one said
âI was always very fond of classical music. I donât believe thereâs a worthwhile orchestra in the world I havenât heard. Just the other day I went to see the London Philharmonic. I sat there and listened but now that the hearingâs fading itâs just not the same any-more.
Again there were nods and murmurs of agreement. Then the third one spoke.
â As you both know, Iâve always been one for the ladies. In fact only last year I married a fine 23 year old filly. Just last night I said to her âhow about you and me going upstairs and having wild abandoned sex?â. She said âdonât be silly dear, we just didâ. Now that the memoryâs fading itâs just not the same any-more.
