Goldy's Joke of the Month:
A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on the shoulder by a little old lady.  She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up.  After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts.  She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him another batch again, he asks her, “why don’t’ you eat the peanuts yourself?”

“We can’t chew them because we have no teeth” she replied.
The puzzled driver asks, “Why do you buy them then?”
The little old lady replied, “We just love the chocolate around them!”
  

I hope to see you at our next meeting on March 18th..
