シニアが語るジョーク その２ |
|
引き続き師匠で恩師でシニアのDickから送ってもらったジョーク
ジョークを読むときは実際に自分が語れるかどうか
語るためにどのへんをどう持って行くか
などを考えることも大切
たとえば その１の入歯のジョークでは最後に夫が
"To get my teeth!"
というところで 入歯声を出さねばならぬ
というタスクがある
何度もいうけど シニアのジョークを若者がやっても ただの芸
おかしみと悲しみはなかなか出ず浮き上がるのみ
それでも受けるというなら その若者はold soulと考えられる
今回はシニアとドライビングというこわいテーマ
SENIOR DRIVING
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!"
He said, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

DRIVING
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. "I could have sworn we just went through a red light."
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the Light was red again. Again, they went right through.
The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through.
So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Crap, am I driving?"

Little Old Lady Driver
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, an AZ State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 17 MPH. He thinks to himself "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!"
So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies - - two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly...seventeen miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly.
The AZ State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "17" was the highway number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask..Is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time." the officer asks.
"Oh, they'll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off highway 101."
