I did this, and when I got home last night I decided to teach my wife a lesson about staying out of my business. I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a parachute club.

She replied, "Are you nuts? You are in your 70s, retired, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"

I told her that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

"Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week."

The line went quiet and my son-in-law picked up the phone and said that she had fainted.



Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be a hell of a lot of fun.
