I just received this email from a friend (seriously):
Dear Friends and Family!
There will be no nursing home in our future...... When we get old and
feeble, we are going to move to a HAL Cruise Ship.
The average cost for a nursing home is $200.00 per day each.
I have checked on reservations at HAL and I can get a long term
discount and senior discount price of $135.00 per day each.
That leaves $62.00 a day for:
1. Gratuities which will only be $10.00 per day.
2. We will have as many as 10 meals a day if we can waddle to the
restaurant, or we can have room service (breakfast in bed every day of the
week).
3. Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free
washers and dryers, shows every night,
4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and all the free soap and shampoo.
5. They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient. An extra $5.00
bucks worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.
6. We will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.
7. TV broken? Light Bulb need changing? need to have the mattress replaced?
No Problem! They will fix everything and apologize for your inconvenience.
8. Clean sheets and towels every day and you don't even have to ask for
them.
9. If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip you are on Medicare, If
you fall and break a hip on a HAL Ship they will upgrade you to a suite
for the rest of your life (can't beat that).
Now hold on for the best,
Do you want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New
Zealand, Asia, or you name where you want to go and Holland America will have a ship ready to go.
So don't look for us in a nursing home..... just call shore to ship.
Just forward all our email to www.HAL.com (http://www.hal.com/).
Love, B & N
PS If you die they just dump you over the side, at no charge.
