          Applying for the Age pension

An elderly gentleman went to the Centre Link Office
To see if he was eligible for the old age pension,
A young lady then asked to see his driver’s license
So that she could verify his age and intention.

Putting his hand in his pocket for his license,
He soon realized that he had left it at home,
Apologizing profusely, he said, I’ll go home and get it,
I’ll be as quick as I can, my mistake to atone.

She surprised him by saying open your shirt
And when he did, showed a chest of curly grey hair,
That’s good enough for me, she said with a smile,
I can see you are genuine, my judgment was fair.

Arriving home he told his wife what had transpired,
His description was quick to gain her attention,
Why the heck didn’t you drop down your pants
And then you would have got a disabled man’s pension.

That's hilarious, Lindsay! :-) At least you didn't have to drive all the way back home.

Makes me think of a movie I once saw. A homeless man was applying for some kind of benefits and the clerk asked him for his birth certificate. He said he didn't have it and she said he had to show proof of birth. He replied, "I'm standing here, ain't I?"

Sounds like your wife has a great sense of humor.

Hmmm, now what might the husband have suggested to his wife, if the bra was on the other foot?!? ~ Ooops-a-daisy, I meant if the "shoe" was on the other foot, so to speak?!?

Loveya, Aussie Man!
