This story is called “The Mysterious Phone Call That Left Everyone Speechless.”
At first, a man is sitting quietly in the lounge of a country club. He could be having a refreshing drink or playing cards with friends after a long day. His phone rings with a nice, familiar sound. He answers.
H—”Hey there?”
W: “Honey, it’s me. Are you in the club?
H: “Yes.”
W: “Awesome!” I live within two blocks from the mall. I saw a lovely mink coat at the mall. It’s really wonderful! “Can I buy it?”
H: “What is the price?”
W: “Only $1,500.”
H: “Okay, if you really want it, go ahead and get it.”
She is very happy. But wait, she’s just getting started.
W: “And while I was out, I went to the Mercedes store.” The 2001 models are finally here, you know? I really loved one. The salesman and I talked about the details, and he gave me a great deal. And since we had to trade in the BMW we bought last year…
H—”What did he say the cost was?”
W: “Just $60,000.”
H: “Okay, but if you’re going to pay that much, make sure it has everything.”
W—”Awesome!” “One more thing…”
H: “What should I do now?”
W: “Don’t worry, but I saw that house we both liked last year. You know, the one with the pool, the English garden, and a full acre of private parkland? It’s on the beach.
H: “Yes… how much do they want?”
W: “Four hundred fifty thousand dollars.” But that’s a great offer, and I noticed that we had enough money in the bank to buy it.
H—”Okay then. Just hand them $420,000. See whether they will accept it.
W: “You’re the best!” I love you!
H: “I love you too…”
He hangs up.
In the lounge, there isn’t much noise.
He slowly hangs up the phone, looks around the room, raises it high in the air, and says something that everyone can hear:
“Does anyone know whose phone this is?”
A Classic That Will Never Go Out of Style
That’s a joke you’ll want to repeat again and again.
The best aspect of this story is how it builds up. The woman’s demands got more and more crazy, starting with the coat and ending with the car and the estate. But what about the turn? Not his wife at all! The man was using someone else’s phone. He played along effectively, making everyone laugh and maybe teaching them a lesson about not picking up other people’s phones.
These funny stories for seniors bring back the charm of telling stories the old-fashioned way. They have clever setups and surprise endings, and they remind us that the best humor is frequently the clean, classic variety.
A Few Extra Clean Jokes for Adults
Here are a few more classic jokes that usually make older people laugh:
You can buy the talking dog.
A man sees a sign in front of a house that says, “Dog for Sale.” He knocks on the door because he wants to know what’s going on.
The owner points to the back yard. The man goes outside, sees a golden retriever, and asks, “Can you really talk?”
“Yes,” says the dog.
The man, who is surprised, asks, “So, what’s your story?”
The dog says, “I learned how to speak when I was a baby.” I told the CIA, and they deployed me all across the world to spy on leaders of other countries. “I retired and settled down later.”
The man is surprised and asks the owner how much he wants.
The owner says, “Ten bucks.”
“Ten bucks?” Why is it so cheap?
The owner shrugs and says, “That dog is a liar.” He didn’t do any of that.
The Man Who Forgets
While they are eating dinner, the woman says, “I’ve decided to go upstairs and take a bath.”
“Okay, sweetie,” her husband says. I’ll turn on the water for you now.
He walks up the stairs, and a few minutes later his wife does the same. When she goes there, she sees him standing in front of the closet, confused.
“Hey, what are you doing?” she asks.
He admits, “I don’t remember if I was getting ready or taking a shower.”
Problems with Medications
A man walks into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist, “Do you have anything that will help me stop hiccups?”
The pharmacist hits the man in the face.
“What made you do that?” The man is astonished and asks.
“Well, I guess you don’t have hiccups anymore.”
The man says, “No, but my wife does!”
Pros of retirement
Two people who are retired are sitting on a bench.
Someone else says, “My memory is so awful that I changed my password to “incorrect.” When I forget now, the computer tells me, “Your password is wrong.”
The other person says, “That’s awesome.” I need to change mine to “forgotten.” Then it will say, “You forgot your password.”
