SCHINDLER SEZ: THE INVITATION & THE SHRINKAGE

When you’re employed,
you’re more employable.

The Invitation
Millie, Helen and Irene’s friend, passed away. Shortly afterward, Helen’s children were planning a surprise birthday party for her. Not realizing Millie had died, Helen’s children sent her an invitation. Mary, Millie’s daughter, read the invitation, called Irene and said, “Obviously, Helen’s children don’t know that mom passed away. But Irene,” Mary, being somewhat of a wit, went on, “If mom shows up, give me a call”

The Shrinkage
As we all know, we shrink with age. Tuesday night, Mike, who is considerably younger than I, but still no spring chicken, was complaining to me and my wife Fry, when he said, “I’m getting shorter.”
“Heck, I’ve shrunk an inch and a half,” I interjected.
“Has Fry noticed?”
