Friday Night Funnies: You Can Retire To....

The Y Generation....Occupy Your Parents Basement....

People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation,

People born between 1946 and 1964 are called The Baby Boomers,

People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X,

And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called Generation Y.

Why do we call the last group Generation Y?

Y should I get a job?

Y should I leave home and find my own place?
 
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
 
Y should I clean my room?
 
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
 
Y should I buy any food?
 
But a cartoonist explained it very eloquently below...

I think we saw those Y's at Occupy!

No one believes seniors.   . . everyone thinks they are senile.

An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple

had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved  back to their old neighborhood after they retired.

Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and

found the old desk theyd shared, where Andy had carved I love you, Sally ..

On their way back home,  a bag of money fell out of an armored car,

practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it,

they took it home. There, she counted the money----fifty thousand dollars!

Andy said, Weve got to give it back. Sally said, Finders keepers. She put the money back in the bag

and hid it in their attic.

The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking

for the money, and knocked on their door. Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of

an armored car yesterday? Sally said, No.

Andy said, Shes lying. She hid it up in the attic.

Sally said, Dont believe him, hes getting senile

The agents turned to Andy and began to question him.

One said: Tell us the story from the beginning.

Andy said, Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school

yesterday ....

The first police officer turned to his partner and said, Were outta here!

Marriage Counseling:

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married.

On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.

Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'this is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?'

'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.'
