Parachute Club

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.
"Like sitting around drinking rum and coke isn't a good thing?" I asked.
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She says she is "only thinking of me," and suggested, I go down to the Senior Centre and hang around with some of the lads there.
So, I did and when I got home, I decided to play a prank on her. I sent her an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.
She replied, “Are you nuts? You're 73 years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her. Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses? This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
"Oh man, am I in trouble," I said, "I signed up for five jumps a week!"
The line went dead.
Life as a Senior isn't getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.....

That just might get her to get off your back ... I know, they mean well. By the way, just where is this club? I'd like to check it out.

That is hysterical. If you want to do something “useful”, you could tell her you are going to paint lines on the highways and streets at night.

He can also tell his daughter that he will be putting in new light bulbs on all the street lamps. One problem, they don’t have ladders so he will have to shimmy up the lamp post.
