Sometimes, benches aren’t just for resting—they’re for enjoying life’s little joys, especially when two old friends sit side by side, silently keeping score of the world’s funniest moments.
Two elderly gentlemen lounged on a park bench, basking in the afternoon sun.
Suddenly, a young woman in running gear sprinted past—sports bra, shorts, energy in every stride. One of the men grinned.
The girl slowed, noticing him. “Why are you staring at me like that, you old man?” she asked, frowning.
He smiled warmly. “I’m not staring. I’m just smiling because life can be tough, but seeing someone so full of energy on a summer day makes an old man’s heart lighter.”
Touched, the girl leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before jogging off.
As she disappeared, the old man turned to his friend, winked, and said, “Three-zero. Your turn.”
Conclusion:
Sometimes the simplest moments—sunshine, laughter, and playful camaraderie—remind us that joy is everywhere. And a little friendly scoreboard humor doesn’t hurt either.
