Watch What You Eat! October 10, 2015
Posted by nrhatch in Health & Wellness, Humor, Joke.trackback
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa.
“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.”
“Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG.”
“High fat diets can be disastrous, and most of us don’t realize the long-term harm caused by pollutants in our drinking water. However, there is one thing we all have eaten or will eat that is the most dangerous of all. Can anyone here tell me what food causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand and softly said, “Wedding Cake.”
Aah . . . that’s better!

Yikes! I hope his wife wasn’t sitting next to him. Cute, Nancy!
He should have GRINNED big when he said it . . . so he could claim later, “I was just joking!”
That’s what BFF does.
Hehehe. I think he deserved a sharp jab in the ribs. 🙂
Or a quick pinch! 🙄
That’s pretty funny….I like your idea that he should have smiled. .. great cover when the truth may not be well-received 🙂
Smiles can be masks, duplicitous and insincere, hiding our honest thoughts from scrutiny ~> especially when wielded by passive-aggressive folks who shy away from honest debate.
But grins also “soften the blow” of harsh words.
AND a sense of humor acts as a “life preserver” in stormy seas, keeping us afloat.
Woo! That would put him in the doghouse for sure. 😀
Yes! ~> Maybe we should say WOOF! instead of WOO!
Good for him! I love his dry sense of humor 🙂
And he’s got a point ~ some wedding cakes cause life-long anguish, heart-ache, and heart-burn!
Unfortunately, yes some do.
But when a marriage works well . . . it works!
Hi. just found your blog and really like it 🙂 Keep it up and excited for future posts! 🙂 Have a great weekend, xoxo Deniza
Thanks, Deniza.
No nucky tonight!
Yes! Bob Eubanks would be snorting at this guy’s faux pas.
Haha!
How lucky I am that I can’t echo that. Actually, our wedding cake (and whole reception) went with a sense of euphoria I have seldom had equalled.
That’s great! Happiness is being married to your best friend.
Needed that laugh this morning Nancy. Thanks
It’s wonderful to “see” you out and about, Judith. Best of luck with the changes on your immediate horizon.
Remember not to try to drive past your headlights.
Very glad our wedding cake brought us more joy! 48 years and counting! 🙂
How wonderful . . . you two lovebirds are almost ready to celebrate your GOLDEN Anniversary.
Yes, we are making plans! 🙂
I’ll be on the lookout for my invite! 😉
You will be so welcome! August 2017 in Cornwall! 🙂
I’ve just been to Cornwall ~> scrolling through your blog. Loved the vase of flowers you put together for your friend, and your baked apple rose, and your recipe section, etc. I’ll be back!
And, who knows, August 2017 may find me on the right side of the pond.
Just been and I didn’t know! Where did you visit? Hope you had a wonderful time! Thank you for you lovely comments. 🙂
I left a comment on your recipe for curried cauliflower soup. I see you found it.
BTW: I meant a cyber visit to Cornwall. I’ve not physically been to Europe in decades.
Good thing I never got married then, I’ve escaped the very dangerous wedding cake 😉
With luck, you would have paired up with another minimalist. But what if your partner had CCD (Compulsive Clutter Disorder)???
That would be bad.
Ouch… I dated one of those… But only for about a second 😉
We watched Tiny House Nation last night ~ a family of three (mom, dad, teen age daughter) downsized from 2200 sq. ft. to 500 sq. ft. The house had 2 bedrooms with a moveable wall/closet as a partition between them.
Anyway, dad was a pack rat. He had lots of stuff in that 2200 sq. ft. house to donate, recycle, or discard before he could jump ship. His angst and anxiety about jettisoning his STUFF was palpable. But he did it. And a month later he seemed lighter, freer, happier.
Less is MORE!
Love elder humor! Interesting if it had been the wife who said this … Our reactions may have been different.
Yup. It might have shifted our perception from: “How dare HE say that!” to . . . “What has HE done now?”
Or even … good for her! He probably wouldn’t have heard anyway … 😉
Bwahaha! So true.
After all that bad news, a joke was the best medicine.
Yes! A jigger full of laughter is a great stress buster.
Wasn’t that the correct answer?
Haha! Of course it was . . . but only for some of the people, some of the time.
FN: a few folks in the audience handed the gentleman a bag to wear over his head and requested that he stifle himself for the duration of the conference. 😛
A bag on the head? Sounds like a good fashion choice.
I know, right!
I definitely did not expect that answer!
That’s because you have a HAPPY union.
I think I just woke up my hubby by laughing so loud! This is a killer!
Haha! Your laughing woke me up!
Looooool 🙂
I got a kick out of this brave man raising his hand to voice what others may have been thinking.
Lol true!
hehe
For some, marriage is a Rocky Road. For others, it’s Smooth Sailing.
