Dementia test
Dementia Test ! (only 4 questions this year)
Yep, it's that time of year again for us to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
As we grow older, it’s important to keep mentally alert.
If you don’t use it, you will lose it !!!
Here is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to your last test.
Some may think it is too easy, but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.
Take this test to determine if you’re losing it or not.
The spaces below are so you don’t see the answers until you’ve answered.
OK, RELAX, clear your mind and begin.

#1. What do you put in a toaster ?
'bread.' If you said 'toast', just give up now and go do something else.And, try not to hurt yourself.
If you said, bread, go to Question #2
# 2. Say 'silk' ten times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink ?
Water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.
Your brain is already over-stressed and may even overheat.
Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Women's Weekly or Auto World.
However, if you did say 'water', proceed to Question #3
# 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from ?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.
If you said 'green bricks', why are you still reading this ???PLEASE, go lie down !
But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question #4.
# 4. Please do not use a calculator for this for it would be cheating:
You are driving a bus from New York City to Philadelphia.
In Staten Island, 17 people got on the bus.
In New Brunswick, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
In Windsor, 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Trenton, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
In Bristol, 3 people get off and 5 people get on.
And, in Camden, 6 people get off and 3 get on.
You then arrive at Philadelphia Station.
Without going back to review, how old is the bus driver ?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud !
D on't you remember your own age?!?! It was YOU driving the bus!
If you pass this along to your friends, pray they do better than you.
PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!

Answered prayer
The Rabbi asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise
for answered prayers. Suzie Silverstein stood and walked to the podium.
She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Mosh, had a
terrible motorcycle accident and his scrotum was completely crushed. The
pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they
imagine the pain that poor Mosh must have experienced.
"Mosh was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move
caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate
operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed
remnants of Mosh's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as
they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Mosh.
"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Mosh is out of
the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should
recover completely."
All the men sighed with unified relief. The Rabbi rose and tentatively
asked if anyone else had something to say. A man stood up and walked
slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Mosh Silverstein." The entire congregation held its breath.
"I just want to tell my wife the word was not scrotum but sternum."
