Senior Dating

I just returned from Passover dinner at my In-Laws house( Yes, I know Passover starts tomorrow night but for my wife's barely religious family Sunday night worked out better for everyone's schedule) and heard something that I had to share with the world. No, I'm not going to write about food or my eating habits (though I do think Japan could clog up their nuclear plant leaks with some Matzo-clogs ups everything else!). This is about Senior Dating( or what anyone under 50 has to look forward to). My brother-in-law's father is 85 years old, 5' nothing, drinks a ton of vodka and most of his stories(which he tells a lot of) are tales that are taller than him. So, he starts to tell us about his dating.  Yes, I said dating! This guy has more action that men 1/4 his age! He lost his wife about 10 years ago and I think he had a date the day after the funeral. Women from age 60-107 where lining up for him.  Unbelievable! It's supply and demand when it comes to senior dating. The fact of the matter is that there are just more women alive then men.  If you're a man over the age of 70, you're a hot commodity.
            So, this colorful little Casanova tells us about his last date and I just about lost it. He tells us that he's out on a date with a woman he met a week ago. She's 86. I say "Hey, nice a Cougar!" Everyone in the room laughed except him because he was motoring through this story like all of his stories. He says thing are going well. They're at a nice restaurant, they order drinks and so far so good.  As he takes his first sip of Vodka, she says to him "I'm so sorry but you're going to have to take me home"  He says "Why?" She replies, "I'm running out of air. I thought I had more air than I do in my oxygen tank"  HOLY @%#@% MOLY!!!!  Everyone in the room is stunned and I all but fall off the couch laughing. I had to leave the room. My oldest daughter who has a demented sense of humor like her father says "Dad, that's blog material!"   I compose myself and we go on with the Passover dinner. So the hardest thing I had to do was think of a title of this posting.

Titles That Didn't Make the Cut:

1) Is That An Oxygen Tank or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
2) My Dream Date With Darth Vader!
3) I'm Going To Get Another Drink, Do You Need Your Oxygen Tank Refreshed?


So there you have it. In all honesty, the guys my hero.  85 years old and more women than he can handle. We should all be so lucky!
