Joke of the Week
A Merry Old Soul

In our family, my aunt is thought of as a merry old soul because she sings as she goes about her daily routine.

One day I took the time to listen to the words of her songs, only to hear, "Now let me see, where did I put my keys?" and "I've got to remember to turn off the oven."

I asked why she sang about such trivial things.

"Annie," she answered, "if people hear me singing, they think I'm a happy old buzzard. If they hear me talking to myself, they'll think I'm daft and send me off to a rest home."
