Let’s start this week’s column off with this anonymous one about an 83-year-old woman who was stopped for speeding. When asked by the patrol officer, “Did you know you were speeding?” she talked herself out of a ticket by stating: “Yes, Officer … I was trying to get there before I forgot where I was going!” Makes perfect sense to me.
Here’s one from tennis club friend Betty Riff. Betty writes, “My friend Bonnie was speaking to her daughter on the CELLPHONE. As she was winding up her conversation, she said to her: “I’m getting ready to go play tennis. I have my racquet, sunglasses, and water, but I can’t find my CELLPHONE!!!” Don’t feel bad, Bonnie, my wife usually is looking for her sunglasses that are on top of her head.
My long-time college fraternity brother D.J., living in The Villages, FL, sent this email to me. It concerns sending emails and fits right in with “Geezer Moments.” D.J. writes, “thought you would want to know about this email virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton cannot take care of this one. It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960. Here are the symptoms:
1. Causes you to send the same email twice. (done that)
2. Causes you to send a blank email. (that, too)
3. Causes you to send an email to the wrong person. (yep)
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. (duh)
5. Causes you to forget to send the attachment. (darn)
6. Causes you to hit SEND before you finish the email. (not again)
7. Causes you to hit DELETE instead of SEND. (I just hate that)
8. Causes you to hit SEND when you should DELETE. (Oops)
It’s called the “C-NILE VIRUS!!!”
Thanks to all that sent in their “Geezer Moments.” If you have a “moment” or two to share, please take the time to send yours to me at greengeezer9@comcast.net If you wish to remain anonymous, I assure you that I will respect your wishes. Bye until next time.
