The Beaujolais Bistro




Oh, my fellow gracefully-aging peeps, I just had to share this with you to see if you can relate too!

A group of 40-year-old buddies discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the Beaujolais Bistro because the waitresses there have low-cut blouses and really short skirts. 10 years later, at 50 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Beaujolais Bistro because the food there is very good and the wine selection is excellent. 10 years later at 60 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Beaujolais Bistro because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant is smoke-free. 10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Beaujolais Bistro because the restaurant is wheelchair accessible and they even have an elevator. 10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Beaujolais Bistro because everyone's heard it's good and they've never been there before.

    Very funny post, Tgoette!
    I can relate to the forgetfulness that comes with aging. Thanks for the laugh.
    Cheers,
    Robyn

    There is so much that slips my mind now, I'm sure at 80 the world will seem brand new.

    Thanks for the laugh this morning.

    And thanks for stopping by too!

    You scare me!! I love Boujolais (not the bistro, damnit, the wine), what if I don't remember that when I am 80 and start drinking lousy California wines??? *running for cover*

    Thanks all of you for your kind comments and for your visits! I don't normally post jokes but I came across this one and it just tickled me. And evidently it did the same for you too!

    @ Robyn - I find myself astounded by how much age has affected me mentally. I think I'm destined to be that crazy old coot that lives on the corner and yells at passing cars and thinks that squirrels are malevolent alien beings.

    @ Betty - Glad I made you smile today. Now go on and have a great day!

    @ Shrinky - You make a fine point about our memory decaying like that. In no time we'll all be hiding our own Easter eggs. Maybe that is the upside of pre-senile dementia. You think?

    @ Anything Fits A Naked Man - Yes, it's sad but true. But don't despair because we will have soon forgotten it anyway. LOL!

    @ MrsBear - If I make it to 80 I bet not only will the world be brand new, but I'll no doubt need someone to let me know who I am. Nice to see you!

    @ Chantel - No, I haven't seen it but I've heard of it. I'll try to find it and give it a look! Thanks for the tip!

    @ Eva - I'm so glad you liked it. Scary how things evolve like that, huh? LOL!

    @ RA - California wines are an acquired taste, it's true. Kind of like foie gras and caviar. But European wines are okay too. They are especially good with pretzels and chips. *ducking*

    Thanks so much for the cool award. That is so sweet of you to send me. I really appreciate it. I'm gonna send you a bottle of our best California Beaujolais. You want the jug or the box?

    I think I know what your are talking about. Something to do with eating, I believe.

    This would be even funnier if it weren't so true. How do I know? I am living it. :-)
