Bert's Joke of the Month

Senior citizens have taken to texting with gusto. They even have their own vocabulary:

BFF: Best Friend Fainted 
BYOT: Bring Your Own Teeth  
CBM: Covered by Medicare 
FWB: Friend with Beta-blockers 
LMDO: Laughing My Dentures Out  

GGPBL: Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low!

  

Senior Texting

An elderly couple had just learned how to send text messages on their cell phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy. One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee. She decided to send her husband a romantic text message and she wrote: "If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you."
 
The husband texted back to her: "I'm on the toilet. Please advise."
