pastor Troy takes his old friend Plumbob in a wheelchair to a retirement home for the first time.
The nurse, expecting their arrival, greets them with,
“Welcome to the Slim family retirement home! We think you’ll feel quite at home here! Please follow me and I’ll show you around.”
The nurse pushes Plumbob in the wheelchair along with Pastor Troy following close by.
“Over here we have the dining hall. We serve lunch and dinner every day, and we offer a varied and changing menu so you’ll always have something new to choose from!”
The old Plumbob says nothing, but slowly but steadily begins to fall to his left.
The nurse, noticing immediately, grabs a pillow and wedges it on his left side to keep him from falling.
The nurse then proceeds with the tour.
“Over here we have the recreation room. We have a ping pong table, tv, and dart board, but if you prefer checkers or board games, we have those available as well!”
Again, the old Plumbob says nothing, but just stares forward, and slowly but steadily begins falling to his right.
The quick-thinking nurse once again wedges a pillow on his right to keep him from falling. The nurse then proceeds with the tour.
“And finally, this will be your room should you choose to stay with us. You won’t have to share it with anyone else. We offer a king-sized single bed with an in-room mounted tv so you can also watch television in your own room if
you wish. We have handicap-accessible bathrooms in this small room adjacent, and for any and all your needs, we have a button you can press and we’ll come to your every service right away!”
The old Plumbob still with a blank stare, begins to slowly but steadily fall forward, and the nurse catches him and props him back and places a pillow on his legs to prevent him from falling forward.
The nurse escorts them back to the entrance, and says,
“Please let me know if the Slim family retirement home would be the right place for you. I’ll leave you to discuss privately.”
The nurse then returns to her desk. Pastor Troy looks at the old Plumbob and asks,
“So? What do you think of the place?”
The old Plumbob says,
“I love the dining room, the recreation room, and the living quarters, but there’s one thing that bothers me.”
Pastor Troy leans in, “What’s that?”
The old Plumbob replies,
“Why won’t they won’t let me fart in this place?”
That’s a fact of life here at the home

No, Andy, the nursing home is not an option, people die there.

It seems the rest of the story starts with the beginning.
What so called pastor Troy is leaving out is that he fed me an entire can of Bush's beans country style for lunch.
Normally it was mushy looking stuff that looked like cat food. Thought i was getting a treat. Little did i fathom i was headed to Slims Retirement home for those advanced in years.
Fortunately Slim provided the wheel chair, un like the roller skates i was forced to wear at the Troy abode. The steps down to my basement were the reason for the majority of the bruises on my body. One could assume where the head trauma came from.
Once relief was found sitting in the wheelchair, as you read breaking wind was a must do.
Mr. Slim will i be getting 3 meals a week like i did with the Pastor?
And maybe a snack once a week. Bush’s baked beans

You might be onto something regarding the marketing for an assisted living center… We have at least one bar called The Gym, so you can tell your Wife you’re going to the gym after work, as well as The Office when the Wife calls and you can say you are still at the office.
Why not a retirement home called The Beach, The Fishin’ Shack, The Lodge or even The Cabin. All decorated with fish and critter decor? You could even appeal to those dastardly golfers by naming one The 19th Hole…
You may be onto something OJ

LOL he had escaped and was on the streets when I found him
Meanwhile after Plum packed his stuff and moved into the retirement home.
On his first day there, as he was unpacking his stuff into his room, he could help but notice that the woman in the room across the hall was staring at him. He thought it was odd but decided not to let it bother him.
Later that night, he went to the cafeteria to get dinner. He sat down at his table and, lo and behold, the woman from the hallway was sitting at the table next to him! There was no food on her table. She just sat there staring at him with fixed eyes. The man grew increasingly annoyed but didn't say anything.
After a scrumptious meal, he went to the lunge to play nightly bingo. He was enjoying the game until he noticed the woman again, staring at him. He had had enough.
He went up to her and said, "Ma'am, I couldn't help noticing that you have been staring at me ever since I arrived. Could you please stop, it is a bit bothersome."
She replied, "I am sorry, it is just that you look so much like my third husband!"
The man felt bad. "I'm sorry. If you don't mind me asking, how many husbands have you had?"
"Two." Was the woman's reply.
