A Practical Joke from the Good News for Bad People Archive

Joke of the day: Convince your 80 year-old grandmother that she has Alzheimer’s.

So it’s my mom’s 50th birthday, I’m home to celebrate and naturally, my 80 year-old grandmother is here as well.  My mom said to me at some point that if she ever had to go to a nursing home that it better be a nice one.  I told her I’d euthanize her instead.  Anyway, this gave me a brilliant idea: What if I convinced my grandmother she has Alzheimer’s? I started talking to her and said “No, grandma, I asked you what you thought of the Turkey my mom made. Was this a good thanksgiving?” Baffled, she looks me at me because I had asked her if she felt old about my mom turning 50.  Naturally, she apologizes and says something like “I’m sorry, I must have lost track.”

“Lost track? You were on a derailed train? That must have been really scary…”

“What? What?”

“It’s ok, I really liked your Christmas gift. I can’t believe how cold outside it is today! (it’s 65 degrees)”

“I know! I was freezing on the way over. I can’t wait for summer.”

“Me too, well I have to head back for college soon, but it was nice of you to come celebrate my 30th birthday!”

“Oh, I forgot, take this and don’t tell your mother” (hands me $100 bill).

There are clearly benefits to this above humor. Find an old person, trick them. Don’t let your relatives see, you’ll be $100 richer.
