112 ~ Resident Humor

By Kay Heitsch

Pushing back from the table in the dining room, Kermit* was ready to leave. When the girls asked where he was going, he said, "Look out, look out, I'm about to break air!"

One SOUTHERN lady, Daisy "T", called me LULA BELLE. She was reciting some of her OFF COLORED poems and said, "You know, LULA BELLE, if momma heard me talking like this, she wouldn't like it. So, I'm going to tell her YOU told me to say it."

Once a week, the able residents can go on an outing. This week, while they were out, one of our male residents walked up to a very pregnant young woman. He looked at her hand and said, "I don't see a wedding ring. And it's obvious to me that there's been some ACTIVITY going on."

Almost a week after having my hair highlighted, a resident said, "Did you notice your hair is turning grey in the front?" I replied, "Can you believe I paid someone $95.00 to look like this?" Her quick response was, "You're kidding!"

As "L" and I were walking down the hall singing with another resident, we were blocked by a wheelchair carrying a woman who asked, "Did you get the papers?" I said, "No." Her immediate response was, "You will soon, as I'm suing you for singing off-key!
