One evening, an elderly woman was walking her dog when a young man suddenly ran past, snatched her purse, and bolted. A nearby couple rushed over, assuring her the police were on their way. To their surprise, she calmly smiled and said it wasn’t a big loss—she used that old purse to carry her dog’s waste until she got home. The real shock, she joked, would be the thief’s when he opened it.
In another lighthearted moment, an elderly woman walked into a supermarket and began tossing frozen vegetables onto the floor. The manager hurried over and asked what she needed. “I’m looking for broccoli,” she said. He explained they were out of stock, and she left—only to return later and repeat the scene.
Just before closing time, she appeared again at the frozen section. Frustrated, the manager tried a different tactic. He asked her to spell “dog,” then “cat,” which she did easily. Then he asked her to spell the “F” in broccoli.
She looked at him and replied, “There is no F in broccoli.” The manager sighed, “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you all day!”
