Working in a mad people's home once
one of the inmates patients reached 100. Quite an achievement (particularly as she'd been clinically batty for a good 80 of them). So all day people are saying "oo 100 years old" and eventually this must have clicked in one of her few remaining faculties. So for the next several days she would stop anybody who came near her and say "I'm 100 you know". Until it became really quite tedious and people started going "uhuh ... really". Not to be put off, she started upping the stakes "I'm 101 you know", "I'm 106 you know". Finally, some of her children or grandchildren came to visit, to be greeted with "I'm a thousand years old you know". The "don't laugh at the mad people" rule was broken by all staff within earshot.
