But, by the time I got my leotards on, <br \/>\n\tthe class was over.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAn elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. <br \/>\n\tFirst, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart                            <br \/>\n\t&#8216;Wal-Mart?&#8217; the preacher exclaimed. <br \/>\n\t&#8216;Why Wal-Mart?&#8217; <br \/>\n\t&#8216;Then I&#8217;ll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMy memory&#8217;s not as sharp as it used to be. <br \/>\n\tAlso, my memory&#8217;s not as sharp as it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tKnow how to prevent sagging? <br \/>\n\tJust eat till the wrinkles fill out.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt&#8217;s scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThese days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, <br \/>\n\t&#8216;For fast relief.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTHE SENILITY PRAYER : <br \/>\n\tGrant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, <br \/>\n\tthe good fortune to run into the ones I do, and <br \/>\n\tthe eyesight to tell the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\tNow, I think you&#8217;re supposed to share this with 5 or 6, maybe 10 others.
