ELDERLY SEX:
An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been
going out with each other for a long time. Urged on
by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get
married.
Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had
a long conversation regarding how their marriage might
work. They discussed finances, living arrangements and
so on.
Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach
the subject of their physical relationship. “How do you
feel about sex?” he asked, rather trustingly.
“Well,” she said, responding very carefully, “I’d have to
say, I would like it infrequently.”
The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, then, looking
over his glasses, he casually asked,...... “Is that one

From whole beans to brewed coffee without the guesswork or mess, this 10-cup
programmable coffeemaker features a completely automatic, integrated mill-and-brew
system. Simply add water and whole-bean coffee, select from seven grind selections
or turn the grinder off to brew already ground coffee, then enjoy the freshest, most
flavorful coffee imaginable. The unit’s brew-pause function allows for pouring a cup
midbrew, and its clock display automatically springs forward, falls back, and resets
after a power failure. Other highlights include a water reser voir with a large viewing
window, high-quality stainless-steel grinding blades, a permanent stainless-steel filter
basket, a warming plate with automatic shut off, and hidden cord storage.
Not only does the coffeemaker brew great-tasting coffee, it also provides animated
weather information on its large, bright-blue backlit LCD display. MSN Direct regionspecific
up-to-the-minute weather information is transmitted via an FM signal within
minutes of plugging in the coffeemaker--there’s no set-up, subscription, or Internet
connection required. The appliance displays the current temperature and conditions,
high and low temperatures, and chance of precipitation, as well as four-day weather
forecasts. The coffeemaker also displays scrolling weather information; visibility; sunrise/sunset
time; the UV index; and national weather-ser vice warnings and aler ts (the
display flashes when a warning aler t is issued). In addition to its optional sleep function,
where if the unit is idle for a period of time an animated, napping cat appears,
the user interface can display a 12- or 24-hour clock; temperature in degrees F or C;
along with English, French, or Spanish languages. The 10-cup programmable coffeemaker
with animated coffee and weather information measures 8 by 11 by 14 inches
and carries a one-year limited warranty.
