Bill forwarded this story about an elderly couple who stopped at a roadside
restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant,
and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her
glasses on the table and she didn't miss them until they had been driving
about forty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel
quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around, in order to
return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.

All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He
fussed and complained, and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire
return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just
wouldn't let up one minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the
restaurant.

As the woman got out of the car, and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses,
the old geezer yelled to her, 'While you're in there, you might as well get
my hat and the credit card.'

This coming week is National Mental Health Care week. You can do your part
by remembering to contact at least one unstable person to show you care.

Well, my job is done. Your turn.
