Countdown to THS Ten Year: Six Days

One week from today our class will renew our bonds at the Basque Center. Will you be there? Buy your ticket today.

Today, we get to hear some perks of growing old:

Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the National Weather Service.

People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"

People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

There is absolutely nothing left to learn the hard way.

Things you buy now definitely won't wear out.

You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.

You can live without intimacy but not without your glasses.

You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.

You get into heated arguments about Social Security.

You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge, except for the minimum speed allowed.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

You sing along with elevator music.

Your eyes won't get very much worse.

Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

Seven Days Until We Meet Again

We've made it an entire decade since our graduation. Come celebrate with us! Get your ticket for our THS Ten Year today.

Today's joke is another top ten list. Here are the top ten reasons to make it to our reunion.

10. You've not thought about getting into shape since graduation.
9. You want to try to dance one more time before your next hip replacement.
8. You want to squash 10 years of rumors about you...and possibly start new and better ones.
7. The reunion committee will NOT stop contacting until you do show.
6. You don't have to ask for the keys to the family car or sneak out a window to be with your friends.
5. You can feel better knowing you're not the only who's been married or divorced.
4. To see what color the girls' hair is now and to see how many of the guys still have hair.
3. There will be no swimsuit competition.
2. You don't have to lie about your age. We know how old you are.

And the NUMBER ONE reason to attend your 10th class reunion is:

1. You can re-connect with old friends, make connections with new friends, and re-capture the joys of youth. The reunion won't be the same without you.

Countdown: Eight Days to THS Ten Year

Are you excited?! We are eight days away from the big event. Sign up so we can see you there. You don't want to miss this!

Here is today's reunion joke:

A group of Waseca classmates discuss where they should meet for dinner on the night before their 20 year reunion. Finally it is agreed they should meet at Charlie's restaurant because the waitresses there have low cut blouses and nice breasts.

10 years later, at the time of their 30 year reunion, the group once again discusses where they should eat the night before their reunion. Finally it is agreed they should meet at Charlie's because they have a two-for-one special on drinks.

10 years later, at the time of their 40 year reunion, the group once again discusses where they should eat the night before their reunion. Finally it is agreed they should meet at Charlie's because the food there is very good and the wine and beer selection is good, also.

10 years later, at the time of their 50 year reunion, the group once again discusses where they should eat the night before their reunion. Finally it is agreed they should meet at Charlie's because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant is smoke free.

10 years later, at the time of their 60 year reunion, the group once again discusses where they should eat the night before their reunion. Finally it is agreed they should meet at Charlie's because the restaurant is wheel chair accessible and they even have an elevator.

10 years later, at the time of their 70 year reunion, the group once again discusses where they should eat the night before their reunion and agrees they should meet at Charlie's because they have never been there before.

Nine Days Left

Our reunion is just over a week away. Have you bought your ticket? Get it today! We hope to see you at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 7 at the Basque Center.

Here is another reunion funny for your enjoyment:

He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years being high school classmates and having attended class reunions over the last 20+ years without fail.

This anniversary of their class the widower and the widow made a foursome with two other singles.

They had a wonderful evening, their spirits high, the widower throwing admiring glances across the table. The widow smiling coyly back at him.

Finally, he picked up courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"

After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes, yes I will!"

The evening ended on a happy note for the widower. But the next morning he was troubled. Did she say "Yes" or did she say "No?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question, but for the life of him could not recall her response. With fear and trepidation he picked up the phone and called her.

First, he explained that he couldn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the past evening. As he gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her. "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No?'"

"Why you silly man, I said, 'Yes. Yes I will.' And I meant it with all my heart."

The widower was delighted. He felt his heart skip a beat.

Then she continued. "And I am so glad you called because I couldn't remember who asked me!"

Here is a quick reunion story for a little laugh:

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, 'Surely, I can't look that old!' Well.... You'll love this one.

While sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist, I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.

This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Waseca high school.

"Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a Bluejay," he beamed with pride.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "In 1959. Why do you ask?"

"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat ass, gray-haired, decrepit SOB asked, "What did you teach?"
