blesses you with love and encourages you with hope."

 Having reached the age of 65, I went to apply for Social Security last
week. After waiting in line for a very long time, I finally got to the
counter. The woman there asked me for my driver's license to verify my

my wallet on the nightstand in my bedroom.

home,
I couldn't wait to tell my wife about my experience at the Social Security
Office. She listened to the whole story and then said, "You should have
dropped your pants . . .. you might have gotten disability ,
