A man was invited for dinner at a friend’s house. Every time the host needed something, he preceded his request to his wife by calling her ‘my love, ‘darling’, ‘sweetheart’, etc.
His friend looked at him and said, “That’s really nice after all of these years you’ve been married to keep saying those little pet names.”
The host said, “Well, honestly, I’ve forgotten her name.”

A senior citizen visits his doctor for a routine check-up and everything seems fine. The doctor asks him about his sex life.
“Well …” the man drawled. “Not bad at all, to be honest. The wife isn’t all that interested any more, so I just cruise around. In the past week I was able to pick up and bed at least three girls, none of whom were over 30 years old.”
“My goodness, Frank, and at your age, too?” the doctor said. “I hope you took at least some precautions.”
“Yep. I may be old, but I’m not senile yet, doc. I gave them all a fake name.”

Two men were walking home after a party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery, they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
“Holy cow, mister,” one of them said after catching his breath, “You scared us half to death – we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?”
“Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!”
