Parkinsons ???
A little old lady, well into her eighties, slowly enters the front door of an adult shop. Obviously very unstable on her feet, she wobbles the few feet across the store to the counter.

A plati cu aceeasi moneda – Old people at weddings always poke me and say „you’re next”. So, I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
Don’t mess with old people
George Phillips, an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
The night of april 1st
Defense Attorney: Will you please state your age?
Little Old Lady: I am 71 years old.
Defence Attorney: Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?
Little Old Lady: There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.
Defence Attorney: Did you know him?
Little Old Lady: No, but he sure was friendly.
Defence Attorney: What happened after he sat down?
Little Old Lady: He started to rub my thigh.
Defence Attorney: Did you stop him?
Little Old Lady: No, I didn’t stop him.
Defence Attorney: Why not?
Little Old Lady: It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Albert died some 30 years ago.
Defence Attorney: What happened next?
Little Old Lady: He began to rub my breasts.
Defence Attorney: Did you stop him then?
Little Old Lady: No, I did not stop him.
Defence Attorney: Why not?
Little Old Lady: His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven’t felt that good in years!
Defence Attorney: What happened next?
Little Old Lady: Well, by then, I was feeling so „spicy” that I just laid down and told him „Take me, young man. Take me now!”
Defence Attorney: Did he take you?
Little Old Lady: Hell, no! He just yelled, „April Fool!” and ran off. And that’s when I shot him … the little bastard.
The face of Age
The idea to photograph people who have lived in three centuries evolved over the course of the project. First, he was simply interested in taking portraits of people who appear worn beyond their years by living extraordinarily hard lives. Those experiences drew him to centenarians, and on to supercentenarians and their stories.
