At 85 years of age, Jack married LaVonne, a lovely 25-year-old. Since her new husband is so old, LaVonne decides that after their wedding she and Jack should have separate bedrooms, because she is concerned that her new but aged husband may over-exert himself if they spend the entire night together.

After the wedding festivities LaVonne prepares herself for bed and the expected knock on the door. Sure enough the knock comes, the door opens and there is Jack, her 85-year-old groom ready for action. They unite as one. All goes well, Jack takes leave of his bride, and she prepares to go to sleep.

After a few minutes, LaVonne hears another knock on her bedroom door, and it's Jack. Again he is ready for more action. Somewhat surprised, LaVonne consents for more coupling. When the newlyweds are done, Jack kisses his bride, bids her a fond goodnight and leaves.

She is set to go to sleep again, but, aha, you guessed it - Jack is back again, rapping on the door, and is as fresh as a 25-year-old, ready for more action. Once again they enjoy each other. But as Jack gets set to leave again, his young bride says to him, "I am thoroughly impressed that at your age you can perform so well and so often. I have been with guys less than a third of your age who were only good once. You are truly a great lover, Jack."

Jack, somewhat embarrassed, turns to LaVonne and says, "You mean I was here already?"

Alzheimer's - it has its advantages.

Yep I know that one too. Funny how jokes can circulate the world, when I get the chance I'll see if I can find the one with the elderly couple and Parkinson's disease.

The one good thing about Alzhiemers is you get to meet new people everyday, without even having to leave your house.

That sounds funny, and can be, but when a family member doesn't recognize their spouse in their home, it is very stressful for everyone.

No offense intended tz376.

I am very familiar with the real issues with Alzhiemers. One of my grandmothers did not recognize me the last 3 years she was alive, and I watched my father and mother take care of her. On the positive side, she lived in her own world, which was somewhere around age 15, and she was comfortable with it. The people with the issues were those who were around her who did not understand where she was in life.
