A friend e-mailed this to me -- probably an urban legend, but
still funny:

Whose grandma is this?

(This is a true account recorded in the police log of Sarasota,
Florida.)

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her
car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.

She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to
scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use
it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran
like mad.

The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags
into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so
shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.

She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. For the same
reason she did not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee and
two 12 packs in the front seat.

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces
further down the parking lot.

She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to
report her mistake.

The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He
pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were
reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white,
less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a
large handgun.

No charges were filed.

Moral of the story:

If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it memorable.

Funny, but an Urban Legend.

It's a good joke that too many people took as fact.

As strange and funny as the original joke was, I had a similar real-life
experience that was painful in retrospect.

A number of years ago I pulled into the parking lot of our local
Albertson's and got out of the car. I heard someone call my name, and
noticed an elderly neighbor, Terry, next to a nearby car.

"Gloria, can you help me? Delores loaned me her car to come here and I
can't unlock it."

I went over and fumbled with the keys a few minutes before I looked into
the car and saw the back seat full of junk. Now, I knew Delores and
knew that she was fastidious and would NEVER have carried stuff like
that around. In addition, I remembered that D. had a new Cadillac and I
looked more closely at the car we were trying to break into. It was a
rusted older Pontiac that had never graced D's driveway.

"Sweetheart, you've got the wrong car. Let's look for Delores's."

Sure enough, it was two aisles away. She was suitably abashed.

Poor Terry was in the early stages of Alzheimer's from which she has
since passed away. Luckily she never carried a gun that I know of.
