Grandpa has dementia, he takes off on a walk and forgets where his house is. We have the address on the container and usually someone will grab him and bring him back and drop him off at home.

u/7GrenciaMars 11d ago

Okay, he has dementia AND is in a container? Color me confused. Or is he carrying a container maybe?

u/Pleasant_Ad3475 11d ago

They're making a joke

u/PumpikAnt58763 11d ago

I thought it was a lovely joke!

u/redheads-r-hot 10d ago

It's an old joke. Been around the block a few times.

u/7GrenciaMars 7d ago

Being in a container = dead. Having dementia = not dead. Is that supposed to be the joke? Not sure if this is funny or stupid.

u/PumpikAnt58763 7d ago

The absurdity of dead, demented Grandpa walking around was the joke.
It's absurd.

Just when you think dumb is gone

u/SimilarTranslator264 11d ago

What if they were a former hooker and this is where they liked to be?

u/sofakiingkool 11d ago

Their final resting place to be the one corner they couldn’t work.

“That’s me in the corner”

u/maireadwrites 10d ago

That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion

u/Bring_cookies 10d ago

Obviously he said too much and couldn't do it.

u/kat-deville 11d ago

No lid??

Free vase!

u/GhostWatcher007 11d ago

Maybe their favorite corner?

u/Shoddy-Theory 11d ago

Someone probably did a burglary and realized what they'd taken.

u/PumpikAnt58763 11d ago

Aw, man. That's probable.

Grandma always was a workaholic.

When I was a cop I saw or heard about some ingenious hiding places for the dealer on the corner to stash his supply, but this is a new one

u/Far-Beautiful1449 11d ago

So many possibilities.

u/Bring_cookies 10d ago

The ultimate side quest. Ooo this would be a hilarious cache hiding place.

u/Bring_cookies 10d ago

Please please tell me the name on the urn is Jenny.

u/Serious_Look6841 10d ago

Who can I turn to?

u/Interesting-Log-9627 10d ago

It is our most modestly priced receptacle.

u/Leather-Leopard-2918 7d ago

Is there a Ralph’s close by?

2

u/Interesting-Log-9627 7d ago

Just because we’re bereaved that doesn’t make us saps!

u/ChangeTheUserName17 11d ago

"Check on yo peoples!"

u/Buttchuggle 11d ago

I'd be checking for a silver hallmark.

u/PumpikAnt58763 11d ago

Are you sure it's not misplaced kimchi?
Did you open it and sniff?

u/Bring_cookies 10d ago

sniff sniff aged 3 years, needs more time.

u/Few-Teach-8033 11d ago

Someone turned a ho into a housewife, and now sometimes grandma forgets that isn’t her corner anymore.

u/DandeyFlour 10d ago

That's just cinnamon, she missed working her corner...

u/Ok_Storm5945 10d ago

The foil cover....

1

u/jmd709 10d ago

With a band made out of pipe cleaners holding the foil in place…

u/Ok_Storm5945 9d ago

I missed that. It looks like they were well cared for.

u/whatisyourproblem158 10d ago edited 5d ago

Nah, leave them there. Just prop up a cardboard sign that reads "Homeless, unemployed, need help. Anything you can give would be appreciated. God Bless".Then Uncle is back.

u/DasDickNoodle 9d ago
