Senior Humor


THE SCARECROW


Two crows were in a field when they noticed a figure that looked like a man in the distance.


"See that over there? What is that?," says the first crow.


The second crows takes a long look and says, "That's a scarecrow. Looks authentic, doesn't it?"


"How can you tell it's a scarecrow and not a person?" replies the first crow.


The second crow responds, "Look at its hand—no cellphone."
