Just in from an old friend:

I have two friends here at SRP with the first name of Richard and they both are cantankerous old farts so this is for the both of them!

I do hope it works as it's copied and pasted

An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr.Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not
cured, get back $1,000."

Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer
didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would
be a great opportunity to get $1,000.
So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.

Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my
mouth. Can you please help me ??"

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."

Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."

Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back.
That will be $500."

Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak ---I can hardly see anything!!!!

Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, "
Here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)

Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations!
You got your vision back! ; That will be $500."

Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"!

Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.

You kids get the hell offa my lawn !!

As one of the cantankerous Richards I say thank you for illustrating how devious an old fart can be. I hope you are practicing your deviousness since you're getting "up there" at a faster rate than you can imagine.

That was an funny joke though. I'll have to remember it.

Deviousness heh ............puts a whole new meaning to "Never trust a fart"??

The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.
This philosophy works great except for marriage.
In marriage, you are either happy or right. Not both.

Youth and enthusiasm is no match for old age and treachery...

I discovered it completely by accident, no special skills involved

So you had to explain it, to take away all the mystery and wonder. I was temporarily in a state that could closely be aligned with religious ecstasy, or more precisely a fugue state.
But your inquisitive mind had to pull back the curtain and reveal what? A glitch? You effectively become the first person to look into the night sky and pick out some stars millions of light years apart, assemble them into something slightly more accessible and shout: Oy, a big dipper..
