A 65-year-old lady suddenly started learning to swim, which was a huge surprise for everyone who knew her usual routine of going to bingo every Tuesday and Friday without fail. Neighbors, friends, and even the local shopkeeper noticed the sudden change in her habits and couldn’t resist asking. “Why the sudden interest in swimming?” they all asked, curiosity written across their faces.
The lady replied with a helpless, yet slightly mischievous look, “Whenever my son and daughter-in-law start arguing—which is almost every day—my daughter-in-law always asks him, ‘If your mom and I fall into the water, whom will you save first?’” She shook her head, sighing, “And because I don’t want to put my son in such a difficult position, I decided to learn how to swim myself!”
Her friends laughed, imagining the scene, but she was serious. She had signed up for swimming lessons at the local pool, learning the basics slowly but steadily. Every stroke she practiced was a silent declaration: she would no longer be the reason her son was stuck in a moral dilemma.
A few days later, of course, the husband and wife were quarreling again. The daughter-in-law, with her usual impatience, repeated her question, “Now tell me! If your mom and I fall into the water, whom will you save first?”
The husband, tired of these arguments, replied with a straight face, “I don’t have to get into the water. My mom knows how to swim; she will save you herself.”
The wife refused to relent. “No, you have to jump into the water and save one of us. Whom will you save?”
The husband, pretending to think seriously, said, “Then you will surely die… because I don’t know how to swim, and my mom will save me first!”
Everyone who heard the story laughed uncontrollably. The son’s clever answer turned the tables completely, and the mother’s swimming lessons became legendary in the neighborhood. Who knew that family arguments could inspire such dedication to fitness—and self-preservation?
LOL!!
An Old Woman Is Riding In An Elevator.
An old woman was riding in a very lavish elevator of a skyscraper in New York City, the kind of building where the marble floors gleamed, and the chandeliers sparkled above. She was calm and quiet, clutching her handbag, enjoying the simple ride. Suddenly, a young, stylish woman with an aura of confidence entered the elevator. The smell of her expensive perfume filled the air.
She glanced at the old woman and said with a tone of arrogance and superiority, “Ralph Lauren’s ‘Romance,’ $150 an ounce!” She smiled, thinking she had impressed everyone with her knowledge of luxury scents.
A moment later, another young, beautiful woman entered the elevator, also radiating confidence and sophistication. She turned to the old woman and said just as arrogantly, “Chanel No. 5, $200 an ounce!” She paused, letting the price linger in the air, certain the old woman was impressed or intimidated.
The elevator ascended, stopping on several floors. The old woman stayed calm, pretending to read her shopping list. She didn’t say a word. Finally, she reached her floor and prepared to step out.
Before leaving, she turned to face the two young women, locking eyes with them, and then bent over slightly, smiling a mischievous grin. She then calmly, unapologetically, let out a fart and said, “Broccoli. 49 cents a pound!”
The two young women froze in shock and embarrassment. The old woman stepped out, leaving behind a mixture of laughter, disbelief, and a lesson that not everything expensive is impressive—and sometimes, the simplest things can have the most impact.
LOL!!!
Her quiet defiance became legendary in the building, and for weeks afterward, people laughed whenever someone mentioned elevators, perfume, or broccoli.
Hope this version brings you even bigger smiles!
