Thread: Monday Morning Funny Ha Ha

Morning all,

Not that I am close to retirement age or ready to hit a nursing home, but here is an alternative

No Nursing Home for Me


About 2 years ago my wife and I were on a cruise through the western Mediterranean aboard a Princess liner. At dinner we noticed an elderly lady sitting alone along the rail of the grand stairway in the maindining room. I also noticed that all the staff, shipsofficers, waiters, busboys, etc., all seemed veryfamiliar with this lady. I asked our waiter who the lady was, expecting to betold that she owned the line,but he said he only knewthat she had been on board for the last four cruises,back-to-back.

As weleft the dining room one evening I caught hereye and stopped to say hello. We chatted and I said, "I understand you've been on this ship for the last four cruises". She replied, "Yes, that's true." Istated, "I don't understand" and she replied, withouta pause, "It's cheaper than a nursing home".

So, there will be no nursing home in my future. When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a PrincessCruise Ship. The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have checked on reservations on aPrincess and I can get a long term discount and senior discount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for:

1. Gratuities which will only be $10 per day.

2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restaurant, or I can have room service(which means I can have breakfast-in-bed every day of the week).

3. Princess has as many as three swimming pools, aworkout room, free washers and dryers, and shows everynight.

4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.

5. They will even treat you like a customer, not apatient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.

6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.

Regards

Stevo

Hmm I think she might have forgotten to carry a zero somewhere in the maths of that !
