Tinkelbell Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So this elderly couple were sitting in their tiny old water flat on the lower East Side when the husband said,..." Doris, we're in bad shape. Inflation has eaten up our Social Security check. The next one isn't due for a week and we have got no money left for food." "Could I do anything to help?" she asked. " Yes," he said. "I hate to see you do this but it's the only way. You're going to have to go out and hustle." "Me ?" she said. " At the age of sixty-five ?" "It's the only way," he said. Resigned to the situation, she went out into the warm night. She came staggering in early the next morning. " How did you do it?" asked the husband. " Here," she said, " I've got four dollar and ten cents." " Four dollars and ten cents," he said. " Who gave you the ten cents?" " Everybody," she said.
