Oh, the irony of it! A man from Yellowknife, Canada won $1 million on a lottery ticket on the ‘Set for Life’ scratch tickets. Great, except that the poor guy is all of 97 years old and – while I honestly wish him many happy years on this earth – the odds seem pretty much against him enjoying this windfall to its maximum. Winners of this lottery can take a single lump payment of $1 million or get $1,000 every week for 1,290 weeks – together with a $10,000 lump sum. Under the circumstances, it stands to reason that Michel Paper opted for the first choice. Here’s hoping that he’ll take advantage of every single minute of his win!

Three old ladies were discussing the trials and tribulations of getting older. One said, “Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand while standing in front of the refrigerator, and I can’t remember whether I need to put it away or start making a sandwich.” The second lady chimed in with, “Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and can’t remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down.” The third one responded, “Well, ladies, I’m glad I don’t have that problem, knock on wood,” as she rapped her knuckles on the table and then said, “That must be the door, I’ll get it!”
