From the reflectors:
A 'seasoned' ham, age 60 is visiting the doctor for his annual physical. The doctor says: "I'm amazed at your good shape, what's your secret?" The OM replies: "Well Doc, it's like this. I'm a ham operator who likes Morse Code, and that keeps me young. I get up well before dawn every day for some early morning high-speed Morse code conversations with operators around the country - that keeps my mind sharp. Then I generally putter around my workshop building projects, which keeps my fingers and arms limber and wards off arthritis. In the afternoon, I often climb my antenna tower for adjustments, or move heavy radio equipment around, which gives me plenty of exercise. At night, I like to read technical books and magazines which soothe my eyes, and when I'm finished, I sleep great." The Doctor says: "That's amazing; how old was your Dad when he died?" The OM replies: "Died!?" Who said anything about Dad dying? He's a spry man of 79, he's also a ham operator, and in fact, this morning I had my usual Morse code conversation with him and he's doing fine." Now the Doctor is really impressed. "Well, how old was your Grandfather when he died?" The OM replies: "Died!?" Who said anything about Grandpa dying? He's 98 and...." Now the Doctor is getting a bit exasperated: "Don't tell me, he was on the air with you this morning also..." OM: "Actually Doc, he usually is, but this morning he got married.": Doc: "Got married? Why on earth would a man of 98 want to get married?" OM: "Want to!?" Who said anything about Grandpa wanting to?...." 73 de Jim, N2EY |
