シニアが語るジョーク |
|
シニアというのはseniorと同じように使われていて
ぼくも次第にseniorに近づいているが
師匠で恩師のDickは、８４歳で、オアフ在住。
ぼくたち教え子に、いまだにジョークを送ってくれる
学生時代 彼のジョークがわかったときには床を転がって
受けたことを思いだす 大げさでなくうまいのだ
最近のジョークはすべてシニア関連で 彼自身 ときどき
ジャズクラブでスタンダップをやると聞いている
ユーモアは自分を笑うことに尽きるとぼくは思っているけれど
Dickのそれは筋金入り
self-deprecatingなのだがセンスがいい
それはセンスのいいジョークで鍛えられているからだろう
これから紹介するものは昨日送ってきたもので
日本ではまずこうしたシニアを笑うジョークというものがシニアの
間で流行ることはないだろうなと思う
こうしたジョークを若者がやっちゃえば それは芸だろうが ただの
悪趣味にもなる
入歯やもの忘れのジョークなど やっぱり本人がシニアの風格を持って
いてはじめて本当におかしく 本当のペーソスも漂う
WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO...という件名のこのジョーク集は
そういう意味でぼくの未来の目標のひとつを示してくれている
Dickはぼくたちに self-expressionの大切さとともに
常に謙遜と控えめさとユーモアの大切さをそれとなく教えてくれる
With very little to do I decided to send you some ha ha's. Some are old, but still make me laugh.
この彼のイントロ ぼくが８４になったとき 言いたいし 誰かに送りたい
それがメールから得られたぼくの目標
ではEnjoy!
CAR CARE
An elderly Florida resident called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried.
The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way."
A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." he says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake."

FAMILY
Three sisters ages 92, 94 and 96 live in a house together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?"
The 94 year old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses, "Was I going up the stairs or
down?"
The 92 year old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood."
She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

"I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!"
Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, isn't it?"
"No," the second man replied, "it's Thursday."
And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a beer."

ROMANCE
An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk.
She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep.
A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me."Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my neck."
Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"To get my teeth!"

OLD FRIENDS
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.
One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me . I know we've been friends for a long time ....but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"
