funny senior dialogue at pharmacy counter

This morning I went to pickup prescriptions at HEB and when my turn at the counter came, a 90 year old wiry dude stepped in and clerk asked him what he wanted. Prescription pickup he claimed. Clerk instructed him that he would have to wait in line. Seeing the confusion, I told the gent and Clerk to go ahead with his order. I had more time than he to wait and it was not a problem. Wiry old dude turns his head with a grin and said" I bet you have more time than I do".
the five seniors behind me all broke out laughing

Its kinda depressing on the dying thing once you get a certain age. I talked to an old man the other day and asked him if he was having a good day and he responded with the classic, "anyday above ground is a good day".
My grandfather used to say that daily.

Old man wasn’t confused, he played you like a fiddle.

One of my more favorite encounters over the years was this guy who was from New York… 70’s I think.
Anyway our technician told him how much his viagra was and without missing a beat he yells out in the most New York accent with a line of people behind him “ HOLY SHITE $200 TO GET A POP OFF”
I laugh about that still randomly

I once overheard a pharmacist explaining the risks of Viagra to an elderly lady as she was picking up her husband’s prescription. I could tell the pharmacist was very worried about their age, and the dangers of Viagra and strenuous activity.

I'll give you a real answer since nobody else has bothered to.
The joke is that OP definitely had " more time" not only in the sense of time today to wait for his prescriptions, but time on this earth since he was significantly younger than the 90-year-old. In other words, the 90-year-old dude could drop dead any minute and and didn't want to do that waiting in line.

My grandpa is in his mid 90s and he's been saying for the last 20 years "yeah I figure I ain't got too much longer, they'll be putting me in a box soon." I think it helps to approach death with some humor. We've all got to do it some day, might as well laugh about it.

that's a great summary! and I am 75 and look forward to the same consideration in 15 years.

Saw Dave Mason in concert last night in Baton Rouge.
He's 78 and said "Its nice to be here, actually its nice to be anywhere."

It is a worthy brag though.
