Three More Helpful Retirement Jokes

• There is an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job. Peter F. Drucker
• I have never liked working. To me a job is an invasion of privacy. Danny McGoorty, Irish Pool Player

Albert’s
Leaving Presentation

Today we would like to thank Albert for his service to our company. Albert is someone who does not know the meaning of
impossible task, who does not know the meaning of lunch break, who does not understand the meaning of the word no.  So we have clubbed together and bought Albert a dictionary.

A. A. A. D. D. – Classic Retirement Syndrome

Recently, I was diagnosed
with A. A. A. D. D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests itself:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car
needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I
lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first.

But then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque
(check) book off the table, and see that there is only one cheque
left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of coke that I had been drinking.

I’m going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push
the coke aside so that I don’t accidentally knock it over. I see that the coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with
the coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye: they need to be watered.

I place the coke down on the work surface, and I discover my reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all
morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the work top, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV
remote. Someone has left it on the kitchen table.

I realise that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decide to
put it back in the lounge where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

• The car isn’t washed.
• The bills aren’t paid.
• There is a warm can of coke sitting on the work surface.
• The flowers don’t have enough water.
• There is still only one cheque in my chequebook.
• I can’t find the TV remote.
• I can’t find my glasses and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m really baffled because
I know I was busy all day long, and I’m really tired. I realise this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help for it, but first I’ll check my e-mail.

PS. I just remembered, I left the
water running………………………………..

Addendum
The main problem Will and Guy have encountered collecting funny
retirement jokes, is that by the nature of the subject, most people have
forgotten the funniest retirement stories.

Memory Test

Three elderly men, Eddie, Jenkin and Martin men go to the doctor’s for
their memory test.  It’s a miracle they remembered the appointment!
Anyway, the doctor begins by asking Eddie, “What is five times five?”
“191,” is his reply.

The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to Jenkin,
“It’s your turn. What is five times five?”
“Wednesday,” replies Jenkin
man.

The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, “Okay Martin
it’s your turn. What’s five times five?”
“Twenty five,” says Martin.

“That’s great!” says the doctor. “How did you get your answer?”
“Easy,” says Martin, “just subtract 191 from Wednesday.”

Don’t Mess with the Elderly

Myra Rhodes, a little old lady living in Great Baddow, Essex, answered a
knock on the door one day, to be confronted by a well-dressed young man
carrying a vacuum cleaner.

‘Good morning, Ma’am,’ said the young man. ‘If I could take a couple
minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in
high-powered vacuum cleaners.’

‘Go away!’ said Myra brusquely. ‘I’m broke and haven’t got any money,’
and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it
wide open. ‘Don’t be too hasty,’ he commanded. ‘Not until you have at least
seen my demonstration.’ And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure
onto her hallway carpet.

‘Now, if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse
manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.’

Myra stepped back and said with a smile, ‘Well let me get you a spoon,
young man because they cut off my electricity this morning.’

country visiting antique shops trying to find bargains.

One day she goes to an antique shop in Stratford upon Avon, England.
Here, Claire speaks to Victoria, the shop’s owner, ‘When I was in here last
week I saw a big mug with a flat head that holds a lot of beer. I’d like to
buy it.’

‘Sorry,’ replied Victoria, ‘but I can’t possibly sell you that.’

‘Oh, what a pity, but why not?’ inquired Claire.

‘Because,’ said the owner, ‘that’s my husband.’

  including hip, knee, cornea, valves. Isn’t in running condition, but

Grandma’s Pizza Delivery

Another Funny Retirement Story

Will and Guy are led to believe that the following job application is a real

retailer in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK.  Word is that they have employed him.

We have changed the name to protect the guilty.

NAME: Brian Walker [also known as Grumpy Bastard].

DESIRED POSITION: Company’s Chief Executive or Managing
Director. But seriously, whatever’s available. If I was in a position to be
picky, I wouldn’t be applying in the first place – would I?

DESIRED SALARY: £150,000 [$295,000 USD] a year plus share
options and a Tony Blair style redundancy package. If that’s not possible, make
an offer and we can haggle.

EDUCATION: Yes.

LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.

PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I’m worth.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen
pens and post-it notes.

REASON FOR LEAVING: It was a crap job.

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and
Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they’re better
suited to a more intimate environment.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I
be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM
LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.?: Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question
here would be ‘Do you have a car that runs?’

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may
already be a winner of the Reader’s Digest Timeshare Free Holiday Offer, so they
tell me.

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job – no! On my breaks – yes!

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in
the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy Swedish supermodel who thinks I’m the
greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.

NEAREST RELATIVE: ….7 miles

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF
YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.

You Can’t Keep a Good Old’un Down

Rosa and Arthur, now well into their 80’s, went to breakfast at Bert’s Café
where the “seniors’ special” was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for
$2.99.

‘Sounds good,’ murmured Rosa. ‘But I don’t want eggs.’

‘Then I’ll have to charge you three dollars and forty-nine cents because
you’re ordering à la carte,’ the waitress warned her.

‘You mean I’d have to pay for not taking the eggs?’ Rosa spluttered.
‘Yes.’ stated the waitress.

‘I’ll take the special then.’ Rosa eventually decided, smiling at Arthur.

‘How do you want your eggs?’ the waitress asked.
‘Raw and still in the shell,’ Rosa answered with a glint in her eye.

Rosa took the two eggs home.

Moral of the story: You can’t keep a good old’un down.

How I Spend Retirement

Now I’m in semi-retirement and growing older, I thought that I might
rationalise my days and present my findings in a simple pie chart. This is what
my time looks like graphically:
