Four retired guys are walking down a street in Chicago when they turn a corner and see a sign that says , "old Timers' Bar . ALL DRINKS : Ten Cents !"

They looked at eack other , and then went in . The bartender says , "What'll it be gentlemen ?"

It seems to be a fully stocked bar , so the four men each asked for a martini . In short order , the bartender serves up four iced martinis and says , "That'll be ten cents each , please ."

They can't believe their good luck, plucking down four dimes .

Finally , one of the men can't stand it any longer and asks the bartender , "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime each ?"

"Well I always wanted to own a bar . Last year I hit the lottery for $25 million and opened this place . Every drink costs a dime ... wine , liquor , beer , all the same ."

"WOW!! That's something ," says one of the men . The four of them can't help notice three old guys at the end of the bar who don't have drinks and aren't ordering anything .

"What's with them ?"

The bartender says , "Oh , they're seniors up from florida . They are still waiting for half-off happy hour .

She immediately accepted his proposal .

He went home happy . The next morning , however , he couldn't remember not only her answer , but also whether or not he had actually asked her , Very awkwaed indeed !

He drank almost an entire pot of coffee trying to remember , but it was no use , he would have to call her and ask her outright , as embarassing as it would be .

"Oh , I am glad you called ," she exclaimed . "Iremembered saying 'yes' to someone about something , but I couldn't remember to whom or about what !"

Helen went in for a doctor's appointment , and was told she should probably have her knee replaced . The news sent her into a tizzy .

"What do you mean , have my knee replaced ? I've already had both hips repkaced , one knee replace , and a heart valve repkaced . Even my teeth have been replaced . Pretty soon , there will be nothing left of me !

"Anything else you want to replace , doctor , or will this do it ?"

As she got upset , Helen's face got more and more red , and she began to sweat .

"Well, while we're on the subject , we might think about replacing some of those hormones ...."
