The Results of Absentmindedness

An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal, and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard," he says "She got in the back seat by mistake."

CHEERS!:D

After living in South Florida for more than 20 years I can honestly say that although that was posted to be funny it is so true.

Sounds a bit like my 91-year-old-mom in Miami. Caught her last year aiming the portable phone at the TV and pushing some of the numbers.

Took her a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on.

:rotfl: Yes, unfortunately, it is all too true. Some of that hsppens with me from time to time too. Some of the absent minded things are funny.

But if you would like to have yourselves a good laugh, I would suggest you read the thread, "Christmas With Louise." It is very very funny, and it's located in the Jokes and Funny Stories section.
