Most of the postings lately have been so serious, I was getting depressed. I ran across this little story, and since a lot of us are "geezers" or are approaching Geezerhood, and we love to go on about our doctors, I though this might lighten the mood a bit.
An old geezer, who had been a retired farmer for a long time, became very bored and decided to open a medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said: Dr. Geezer's clinic. "Get your treatment for $500, if not cured get back $1,000."
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000.
So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
This is what transpired.
Dr. Young: --- "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth can you please help me? â
Dr. Geezer: --- "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
Dr. Young: --- Aaagh !! -- "This is gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor Young: "Oh no you don't, -- that is gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see !!!! â
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so -- Here's your $1000 back", handing him five $100 bills.
Dr. Young: "But this is only $500..."
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."
Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an old "Geezer " !!!!
Good Luck and Good Life, PJ

Thanks for the fun read! At 73 I fall in the old geezer category. I am reminded of my old geezeritis when I say things like "razzle fritz, shucks, darn it, nuts and phooey"--a far cry from the modern expressions of the day. And then there are the various hand gestures the kids use today. I have no idea what most of them mean, so avoid trying to act hip and end up insulting someone. I told a friend that I am beginning to feel like I am getting old and she loudly proclaimed "what do you mean GETTING?". It sure does help to have a good laugh and not take ourselves too seriously.

There used to be a British newspaper whose tag-line was.." All life is in here"
PMC is a bit like that.
