So I work in healthcare and was at a nursing home facility in philadelphia yesterday.
Two of the nursing home residents were seated in the building foyer waiting for a scheduled activity to begin. As a backdrop ill let you know that one of the guys is like rain man - real serious and OCD. The other is just as much of a wise arse as they come.
They both know I'm a cowboys fan from previous football conversations.
Rainman called me over while I was passing through and said "the cowboys have one thing on the eagles. They have 4 Super Bowl wins and the eagles have zero" (I didn't bother to correct him and say it was five).
So he continues "but I guarantee you the eagles will win a Super Bowl before I die, I guarantee it"
Before I could say anything the man seated next to him says "not if I kill you tonight".
The first just stopped talking right then (which is a rarity in itself) and looked like he was calculating the truth of the statement.
I laughed so hard. Old people say some of the funniest things some times. I have so many great stories about things that elderly people do and say because they just get to a point where they don't censor themselves anymore.
Anyway, thought I would share this one with the board.
