A park bench may be a magical location. It’s where the world moves at its own pace, and where two old friends may laugh together, swap stories, or simply sit in silence, letting life happen around them.
Today, it was the perfect place for two older men to do nothing well.
These two had earned the right to simply sit back and enjoy the show; they had no intention of exerting themselves or keeping up with the news.
The vorid kept spinning, Kias kept playing, and the dogs chased Arter Balls with unbounded joy. Even small details, such as a young woman wearing jogging shorts and a sports bra, brought a sense of humor to the situation.

Here is the story:
Two old men are sitting on a park bench.
A young, attractive girl runs by wearing a sports bra and shorts. One of the men smiles, and the girl approaches, asking, “Why are you grinning at me, you creep?”
The Old Man Responds: “I’m Not Smiling At You, I’m Smiling Because No Matter How Tough Life Gets, Seeing Pretty Young Girls In Summer Always Makes An Old Man Feel Better.”
The girl touches him, kisses him on the cheek, and runs away.
The Old Man then turns to his friend and says, “3-0,” or Your Turn.
Bonus Funny Story.
This fictional story is about a salesman from Montana. At first, I felt sympathy for the individual, but by the end, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. Such a clever response! This is the best thing I’ve read in a long time!
Michael, a young man from a little town in Montana, has moved to New York. He entered a large department store looking for work.
During an interview, the boss asked, “Do you have any sales experience?”
“Yeah. “I was a vacuum salesman in Montana,” replied the young man.
The boss was unsure, but he liked Michael and decided to give him a chance.
“You begin tomorrow at 8:00. Michael said, “I’ll come down from the office after we close and see how you did.” His first day on the job was challenging, but he persevered. The boss went down to the sales floor and gathered all of the employees after locking up the store.
“How many customers bought something from you today?” inquired the chief.
Michael scowled and uttered the word “one” while surveying the floor.
“Get it together!”
The boss yelled, “Just one?! Our salespeople see an average of 20 to 30 customers every day. This has to improve! You must quickly make improvements if you wish to continue working here. Here in the Big Apple, we have very strict standards for our sales force. One sale a day would have been OK in Montana, but you are no longer in the countryside, son.” Get it together or get out!”
The young man listened to the manager’s complaint but continued to stare directly onto the floor. The boss apologized for his first-day disappointment and inquired about his only sale.
Michael looked up and said, “$124,088.30.”.
Astonished, the boss exclaimed, “$124,088.30?!?” What the heck did you sell?
The young man explained: “First, I sold him some new fishing hooks.” After that, I sold him a new fishing rod to match his new hooks. I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down the coast. I told him he’d need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him the new twin-engine model we had. Then he said he didn’t think his small car could pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him a 4×4 Dodge truck.
Astonished, the boss asked, “So a guy came to buy fish hooks—and you sold him a boat and a new truck?”
Michael replied, “Not really.” To be honest, the guy came here to buy tampons for his girlfriend. But then I told him, “Dude, you’ve wasted your weekend; go fishing instead.”
The next day, Michael was promoted.
