%(#BF0000)[A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. “Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?” he asks.
“Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?”
“Sure.”
“Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?” she asks.
“No, I can remember it.”
“Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?”
He says, “I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.”
“I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?” she asks.
Irritated, he says, “I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!”
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
“Where's my toast?]%(#008040)[An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.”
The other man asked, “What is the name of the restaurant?”
The first man thought and thought and finally said, “What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.”
“Do you mean a rose?”
“Yes, that's the one,” replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”]%(#4040BF)[Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
“I don't know,” he said. “She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”]%(#00BF00)[A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy, “So I hear you're getting married?”
“Yep!”
“Do I know her?”
“Nope!”
“This woman, is she good looking?”
“Not really.”
“Is she a good cook?”
“Naw, she can't cook too well.”
“Does she have lots of money?”
“Nope! Poor as a church mouse.”
“Well, then, is she good in bed?”
“I don't know.”
“Why in the world do you want to marry her then?”
“Because she can still drive!”]%(#804000)[A man was telling his neighbour, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.”
“Really, answered the neighbour. “What kind is it?”
“Twelve thirty.”]%(#8000BF)[Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, “You're really doing great, aren't you?”
Morris replied, “Just doing what you said, Doc: ‘Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.’''
The doctor said, “I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'”]A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, “Crushed nuts?”
“No,” he replied, “Arthritis.” -

means"non breakable space"and usually used in html code to insert a dummy space between two tags to make sure they are not empty (like<p> </p>to insert a "non empty still sort of empty" paragraph) or as "space holders" between (say) two buttons (although this should rather be done in CSS).Though it may have been confusing ("as if" there should have been something there but lost during coding), eventually there's no loss.
Here are some examples from the forum's source code...

I was once an IBM Research Fellow in the UK. I worked with an experimental CAD terminal - real high-resolution, a whole 1024x1204 8bpp, but this was after all in 1981 - which was developed as part of an internal company competition to produce the next IBM CAD hardware product. It was called the Titanic because everyone knew it would never cross the Atlantic...

An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote, “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

There was a small phone company in Minnesota many years ago that was going to hire one team of telephone pole installers, and the boss had to choose between a team of two Norwegian guys and a team of two Irish guys.
So the boss met with both teams and said, "Here's what we'll do. Each team will be installing poles out on the new road for a day. The team that installs the most phone poles gets the job."
Both teams headed right out. At end of the shift the Norwegian guys, came back, and the boss asked them how many they had installed.
They said that it was tough going, but they'd put in twelve.
Forty-five minutes later the Irish guys came back in, and they were totally exhausted.
The boss asked, "Well, how many poles did you guys install?"
The team leader, wiped his brow and sighed, "O'Malley and me, we got three in."
The boss gasped, "Three? Those two Norwegian guys put in twelve!"
"Yeah," said O'Malley, "but you should see how much they left stickin' out of the ground." -
