Hope this is allowed.

One day God was looking down at
earth and saw all of the rascally
retirees' behavior that was going on.

So He called His angels and
sent one to earth for a time.

When the angel returned, he told God,
"Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% of retirees
are misbehaving and only 5% are not."

God thought for a moment and said,
"Maybe I had better send down a second
angel to get another opinion."

So God called another angel
and sent her to earth for a time.

When the angel returned,
she went to God and said,
'Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline;
95% of retirees are misbehaving,
but 5% are being good..."

God was not pleased!

So He decided to e-mail the 5% of retirees
who were good, because he wanted
to encourage them, and give them
a little something to help them keep going.



Do you know what the e-mail said?




















Yeah, me neither.

He said go long Phillip Morris and short Apple.
He also said Don't forget to Laugh !

p.s. He said he would also like it if toenails were trimmed before they became too horrific.

Not sure how this joke is applicable to retirees especially so its not funny to me. Jokes usually work better when they contain clever, pointed observations about recognizable traits of specific people or groups. This is more like a MadLib.

This joke has been around for a while but always gets a chuckle out of me. We need people who enjoy good humor and laughter. Not enough of it.
