In Iran, rescuers found a near-100 year old woman under a pile of rubble in the wake of the big earthquake they just had. She'd been there for a week, and she survived. Do you know any funny stories about old people being trapped under things (mattresses, unjust Medicare system, their own senility)?

Wha...

Not that this is funny, but over the summer this 90 something year old woman who lived in a hogan (like a Indian cottage thing) and she had gone out the to greenhouse/outhouse and slipped and fell. She crawled to the doorway, went unconsious and layed there and bled for 5 days. Till finally my gradma's freind went to check on her cuz' no one had seen her in the village. Funny? no. Not at all.

Did I forget to mention that during the days the old woman in my post was outside it was raining? She's lucky she's still alive and she's been a little "loopy" ever since.

Just b/c you're paranoid, don't mean that they're not after you!

Well, either you got it or you didn't. And you got it. I ran it through Rot13! Lolololololol!

Me and my cousins got away with taking their grandfather's car at nigh when he was sleeping. The guy was really hard of hearing. Also, he didn't think about the dangers of leaving one's car keys on the table. However, this cost me and my cousins a car wreck, and a whole lot of explaining. Wasn't worth it in the end.

How is finding an old person in a pile of rubble after a devestating earthquake funny? Please explain it to me.

She didn't get injured either. So if Uday and Qusay had surrounded themselves with 100 year old harems...
