It Could Have Been Aunt Pearl and Uncle Gene

Sometimes people will send me a story or a note, or I'll read something that makes me think of Uncle Gene and Aunt Pearl.   I read this and I immediately thought of Uncle Gene and Aunt Pearl! I thought it would be fun to share some of these little pearls with Jerry's fans! 

Now, I just want to preempt this bit of fun by saying, I don't mean any disrespect at all to Uncle Gene or to Aunt Pearl--both very loved and appreciated!  This is the first of posts that will later just be titled, "It Could Have Been Aunt Pearl and Uncle Gene"

Down at the Social Security Office


After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

 The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'

 That could have been Aunt Pearl and Uncle Gene!
