Horseshoe's family was considering putting
in a nursing home. All the]Newfoundland facilities were
completely full so they had to put him in a mainland home.
After a few weeks in the Sydney facility, they came to visit
Horseshoe
"How do you like it here?" asks the grandson...
"It's wonderful! everyone here is so courteous and respectful,"
says Horseshoe
"We're so happy for you. We were worried that this was the
wrong
place for you. You know, since you are a little different from
everyone."
"Oh, no! Let me tell you about how wonderfully they treat the
residents." Horseshoe says with a big smile.
"There's a musician here....he's
85 years old. He hasn't played the violin in 20 years and
everyone still calls him 'Maestro'!"
"There is a judge in here.... he's 95 years old. He hasn't been
on the bench in 30 years and everyone still calls him 'Your
Honor'!"
"There's a dentist here.... 90 years old. He hasn't fixed a
tooth for 25 years and everyone still calls him 'Doctor'!"
"And me.... I haven't had sex for 35 years and they still call
me 'The fishing Newfy'."
