Three brothers age 92, 94 and 96 live in a house together
One night the 96-year-old draws a bath, puts his foot in, and pauses.
He yells down the stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?”
The 94-year-old yells, “I don’t know, I’ll come up and see.”
He starts up the stairs and pauses, then yells, “Was I going up the stairs or coming down?”
The 92-year-old was sitting at the kitchen table, having coffee, listening to his brothers.
He shakes his head and says, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful.”
He knocks on wood for good luck.
He then yells, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”
