Petworth Park in the winter.  The majestic 700-acre park at Petworth is one of the finest surviving and unspoilt examples of an English landscape designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. Walking through the park, the landscape gives every impression of being totally natural but Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown transformed Petworth in the 1750s and early 1760s to the pastoral delight you see today. (Thank you National Trust).

These 2 cowboys are looking at a half scale model of a warning beacon. The original was on top of Tennysons Down on the Isle of Wight and was lit to warn of invasion threats, typically from the France and Spain.   When Spain’s King Phillip sailed a massive war fleet on England, the night was as bright as day, Macaulay wrote, the entire country lit by beacon fires at every visible point.

An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic.

He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."

Doctor Young, who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000.

So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic. Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?"

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth.”

Dr. Young: “Aaagh!! This is Gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500.”

Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.

Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't -- that is Gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."

Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak. I can hardly see anything!!!!" Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)

Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

Moral of the story: Just because you're ‘Young’ doesn't mean that you can outsmart an ‘old Geezer’!

Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.

ENJOY YOUR DAY !! P.S. Written in large print for old Geezers.
