A park bench can be a magical place. It’s where the world passes by at its own pace, and where a couple of old friends can share a laugh, swap some tall tales, or simply sit in silence, letting life happen around them.
For two older gentlemen on this particular day, it was the perfect spot for doing absolutely nothing — and doing it well.
These two weren’t out to break a sweat or keep up with the news; they had earned the right to just sit back and enjoy the show.
The world kept spinning, kids kept playing, and dogs chased after balls with boundless enthusiasm. It was the kind of day where even the smallest things seemed to carry a little bit of humor — like the sight of a young woman in jogging shorts and a sports bra.
Here’s the story:
Two old men are sitting on a bench in the park.
A young, attractive girl runs by in a sports bra and shorts. One of the men smiles, and the girl comes over, asking, “Why are you grinning at me, you creep?”
The old man replies kindly, “I’m not smiling at you, I’m smiling because no matter how tough life gets, seeing pretty young girls in summer always makes an old man feel better.”
The girl, touched, kisses him on the cheek and jogs away.
The old man then turns to his friend and says, “3-0”, your turn.
BONUS FUNNY STORY
This story (fictional) is about a salesman from Montana. At first, I felt sorry for the guy — but when I got to the end, I couldn‘t stop laughing! Such a clever response! The best thing I have read in a long time!
Michael, a young guy from a small town in Montana, moved to New York. He entered a large department store, looking for a job.
He got an interview with the boss, who asked:
“Do you have any sales experience?”
“Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in Montana”, answered the young fella.
The boss was unsure, but he liked Michael — and decided to give him a chance.
“You start tomorrow at 8.00. I’ll come down from the office after we close and see how you did”, he said.
Michael’s first day on the job was tough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to the sales floor and gathered all the employees.
“How many customers bought something from you today?”, asked the chief.
Michael frowned and looking at the floor muttered: “One”.
