LAUGHTER !
A woman complained to her doctor that her husband was always ogling attractive women and wandering off after them “It’s hard to stop men from admiring women “ the doctor told her . “But he’s 82years of age” the women persisted. “Look at it this way” the Doctor said soothingly. “I have a
fox terrier that chases after cars. What on earth would he
do with one if he caught it?”
