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

word or two?”<br />

From whole beans to brewed coffee without the guesswork or mess, this 10-cup<br />
programmable coffeemaker features a completely automatic, integrated mill-and-brew<br />

or turn the grinder off to brew already ground coffee, then enjoy the freshest, most<br />
flavorful coffee imaginable. The unit’s brew-pause function allows for pouring a cup<br />
midbrew, and its clock display automatically springs forward, falls back, and resets<br />

connection required. The appliance displays the current temperature and conditions,<br />
high and low temperatures, and chance of precipitation, as well as four-day weather<br />
forecasts. The coffeemaker also displays scrolling weather information; visibility; sunrise/sunset<br />
time; the UV index; and national weather-ser vice warnings and aler ts (the<br />
display flashes when a warning aler t is issued). In addition to its optional sleep function,<br />
