About OldIsFun.com and its Chief Mirth-Maker
Hi, I'm R A Murphy. Welcome!
OldIsFun.com is designed to provide a lotta laughs to the 55 Plus Crowd. You should expect everything from titters to teehees and from giggles to guffaws.
Wait, You Are Old Aren't You?
We've set our sights on Older Adults. That's because, at times, us old folks don't have much to laugh about. Being old is not easy. I know. I'm 79 this year (2026), and honestly, I don't feel so good... Like the standup commedian said, I got pain in places I didn't even know I had places. And, I keep forgetting things -- like why am I writing this? Fortunately I find if I just give my mind a minute, it'll usually figure out what I've forgotten. It's not always accurate, though. Right now, instead of my mind telling me why I'm writing this, it's telling me I should make a rutabaga and turnip salad...
Age is just another word for nothing left to lose
I'm paraphrasing Janis Joplin there a bit, but you probably get my point. Now, I certainly don't mean to make light of the serious challenges many older adults face. But laughter can often help to ease the pain.
I asked my AI friend and this is what she said:
"Yes, laughter has a legitimate, scientifically backed medicinal purpose, acting as a free, non-invasive, and effective complement to conventional health treatments. Research shows that laughter boosts immunity, reduces stress, and improves cardiovascular health.
The most exciting news is that science is busy looking for methods to stop aging.
The joke of course is that, by the time they figure it out, anyone old right now won't be around to benefit.
See? Ya just gotta laugh...
