Getting Old Sucks!

One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home
and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the
nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty
breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower
garden.

She seems OK, but after a while she slowly starts to lean over sideways in
her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and
straighten her up. Again she seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt
to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back
upright. This goes on all morning. Later the family arrives to see how the
old woman is adjusting to her new home.

"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they ask.

"It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
