Members phkrause Posted January 31, 2012 Members Posted January 31, 2012 IT'S TOUGH GETTING OLD Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly. \ One student said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class." Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and one of the students said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is?" The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think." The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?" The old man said, "I thought it was GAS - but I was wrong, too!"

Woody Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 What is tough about being OLD is that one has to go and get the erroneous opinions of all these young whipper snappers. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Gibs Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 One thing I observed about it from that story, both them young sharpies both mis-diagnosed the case! They didn't offer any solution either! Mercy, mercy is all I can say, a true case oftener than you might realize. Old age does that for ya. 1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Quote A Freeman In Jesus Christ
Administrators Naomi Posted January 31, 2012 Administrators Posted January 31, 2012 Oops!!! Getting old isn't for the weak of spirit or body. Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Administrators Gail Posted January 31, 2012 Administrators Posted January 31, 2012 It's sort of scary, the number of posters who can relate... Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Overaged Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 This would apply to some young people, and toddlers too. I solve the whole problem here by telling people I am 57 years young...

Woody Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 It's sort of scary, the number of posters who can relate... Yes Gail. I am actually wondering if there are ANY young people on this forum. I know there used to be one but we started calling him the Romanian Bump King and he left. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Gibs Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Yhar is a picker upper for the aged ones in the Lord, Isa 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. Ugly withered up old "apples" we become He still loves us! 1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
