Joke of the Month

I heard about this 92-year-old man. He wasn't feeling up to par, so he went to the doctor.

A few days later, the doctor saw him out in the park with this beautiful young lady by his side. And he seemed as happy as can be. The doctor said "Wow, you sure are feeling a lot better, aren't you?"

He said yes doctor, I'm just following your orders. You said get a hot mama and stay cheerful." The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful."
