Juan Inchcock, the retired Gas Lamp Wick Trimmer from Nottingham, yesterday took part in a local radio programme where he was asked questions on growing old 
and the consequences involved.
He arrived at the studio in his pyjamas as if to make a point to the interviewer Shirley Blamey. She was not impressed and they drove him home to take his medications and change into his jump suit.
They returned to the studio where she sat him down on a commode and began her questions:
1)
Q: Where can guys of 68 find youthful, pretty women who are interested in dating them?
A: I look in the library under Romantic Fiction.
2)
Q: How can a man cope during his wife’s menopause?
A: Blowed if I can remember!

A: She should tell him she’s with child.
4)
Q: What can an older woman do for the wrinkles on her neck?
A: Don’t wear a brassiere. The additional hanging “weights” should take out the wrinkles.
