An Old Lady in The Cruise

The Moral:  Very Realistic Truth

A man asked why an old lady was all alone on a cruise ship.He noticed that although she was alone, all the staff, ships officers, Waitersand busboys were very familiar with her. So, he asked the waiter who the ladywas, expecting to be told…she owned the line, but all the Waiter knew was thatshe was on the last four cruises, back to back.

As he left the dining room one evening he caught her eye andstopped to say hello. They chatted and he asked, "I understand you've beenon this ship for the last four cruises."

She replied, "Yes, that's true."

He said, "I don't understand" and she replied,without a pause, "It's cheaper than a nursing home. So, there will be nonursing home in my future. I'm staying on this cruise; the average cost for anursing home is $200 per day. Here, I can get a long term discount and seniordiscount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for tips and extra cash.I have it made here.

I can have as many as 10 meals a day of fantastic food orroom service which means I can have breakfast in bed every day of the week. Iget free pools, a workout room, free washers and dryers and shows every night.I get free toothpaste, razors, and free soap and shampoo. They will even treatyou like a customer, not a patient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have theentire staff scrambling to help you.

I get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days! TV broken?Light bulb need changing? Need to have the matters replaced? No problem! Theywill fix everything and apologize for your inconvenience. Clean sheets andtowels every day and you don't even have to ask for them. There is always adoctor on board. This is how I want to live the end

of my life. “
